Chapter 444 I can't be the only one suffering
After seeing those corpses, everyone really changed their attitude. There was no other way. After seeing the corpses of those killed members of the "Red Rat Gang", they had to believe it even if they didn't want to.

Otherwise, is this "Red Rat Baron" mentally ill? Why would he sacrifice so many of his men to deceive them?

They are just a bunch of paupers, a bunch of "gutter rats". What value do they have that is worth the "Red Rat Baron" making such a big scene?
However, they really couldn't understand why the "Red Rat Baron" would make such a change. The change was too sudden and the price paid was too high.

However, they could all guess that the changes in the "Red Rat Gang" must be related to the man who sat in the boss's position. After all, the "Red Rat Baron" was just following orders, and all these changes must be related to that adult.

"Under the instructions of Master Ke Ling, our Red Rat Gang will be completely changed. You don't have to worry. The whole of Zaun is about to change. Master Ke Ling will change the whole of Zaun."

The "Red Rat Baron" spoke to the residents of the "Gutter District". He mentioned Ke Ling's name, which sounded like a name from the eastern "Ionia Continent", which just happened to fit Ke Ling's identity. It didn't seem strange that there would be such a magician in the eastern continent which was quite mysterious to everyone.

"Ionia" is an archipelago continent east of "Valoran". For the people of Zaun, that continent is indeed quite mysterious. Even in "Piltover", there are rarely "Ionians", not to mention "Zaun" in the lower city.

However, those who are good at magic and have oriental characteristics in their names are not necessarily "Ionians" but may also be "Noxians".

In the "Kingdom of Noxus" that has been conquering everywhere, there are various cultures, so it is not surprising that there are "Ionians" in the East. The "Noxians" have always coveted that continent.

As for magic, the Noxians also have a very open attitude. They are not like the Demacia who are terrified of magic and completely ban it.

Noxus generally regards magic as a powerful weapon, and because Noxus itself is a country where strength is supreme, people who can use magic are highly respected.

Magicians are also a type of people that Noxus actively seeks out, and the scope of their search even goes beyond the borders of Noxus. They appreciate the special talents of those magicians and hope to make those magicians work for Noxus.

To be honest, if Ke Ling is from Noxus, then this is not good news. This is not good news for both the cities of Piltover and Zaun. It means that the Noxians have set their sights on these twin cities.

If you are targeted by the Noxians, you either surrender or face war. The Noxians will show no mercy and the rebels will be subjected to the most brutal suppression.

The conquest of the Noxians has indeed reached Zaun and Piltover, and has even penetrated deep into the Shurima continent. Many of the Shurima port cities on the other side of the Valoran continent have already hung the flag of Noxus.

The current "Zaun" and "Piltover" are indeed a bit awkward. As cities located at the connecting point of the "Valoran Continent" and the "Shurima Continent", their geographical location is indeed very important, and it is natural that they would be targeted by the "Noxians".

Of course, those things are not that important to the "Red Rat Baron". After all, he is just a small baron who controls four blocks in the "Gutter District". It is really not his turn to worry about the major events in "Zaan" and "Piltover".

He even had a hard time getting into the "Alchemy Baron" meeting, and during the meeting, he could only sit in the corner like a minion. Such important matters had to be handled by someone more powerful than him.

"Go ahead, everyone, go back."

"Red Rat Baron" waved his hand, signaling all the residents of the "Gutter Area" to leave.

This time, the residents of the "gutter area" finally left, and they finally believed the words of the "Red Rat Baron".

Although the matter is indeed outrageous, it seems to be true. The "Red Rat Gang" is really going to be transformed into a guardian role.

As for the talk of "changing Zaun", everyone naturally just listened. It is easy to change the "Red Rat Gang", but to change the entire "Zuan", that is no small matter.

After sending away all the people in the "gutter area", the "Red Rat Baron" returned to the "Red Rat Gang Factory" and came to Ke Ling again.

"My lord, everything is settled."

"Red Rat Baron" reported to Ke Ling how the matter was handled.

"Very well, you did well."

Ke Ling nodded. He was indeed quite satisfied with the handling of the "Red Rat Baron". This guy was really a talent. It could only be said that those who had fought their way up from the bottom had something of their own, otherwise they would not have been able to stand out from the quagmire.

"Do you know Hilco? And Fandel?"

After solving the problem of the "Red Rat Gang", Ke Ling asked about the news of the two main characters. For the underground world of "Zaan", Hilco and Vandel must have great reputations. As for Vi, Jinx and Ekko, they are still small guys.

"Silko and Fandel? They are relatively famous guys in the middle square. A few years ago, they led the workers of Zaun to attack the Bridge of Progress and fought a battle with the Piltover people. But they have been much quieter in recent years. It seems that the two of them broke up."

As expected, the "Red Rat Baron" had heard of these two men. After all, Hilko and Vandel were influential figures in "Zaan" and had led a large-scale resistance movement, but that was several years ago.

"Can you find them?"

Ke Ling continued to ask. From the words of "Red Rat Baron", he could roughly guess the time of his appearance.

Now is still the period of Violet, Boom, and Tiny. They have not grown up to become Vi, Jinx, and Ekko. Silko has not yet become big and strong by relying on the "Glimmer Reagent", and even has not yet surpassed other "Alchemy Barons".

However, at this point in time, the daughter-slave "alchemist" Singed has probably already developed the "Glimmer Reagent". This thing is actually more like a by-product. The purpose of Singed's experiment is only for his daughter. This guy is a real daughter-slave.

It has to be said that Hextech and alchemy technology still have some value. Dr. Colin Leveque, also known as the "alchemist" Singed, actually resurrected his daughter.

Obviously, these two technologies combined are more powerful than "RC cells". After all, Akihiro Kano put so much effort into it, but in the end he failed to resurrect his mother, while Singed got what he wanted.

Of course, the harm caused by this guy Singed is more serious than that of Jianan Mingbo. After all, he has Hilko helping him. The spread of "Glimmer Reagent" has caused the entire "Zaan" to suffer.

"Glimmer Reagent" can enhance the abilities of the human body, can cause the human body to mutate, and gain strength, speed, and regenerative abilities beyond that of ordinary people, and can greatly enhance combat capabilities.

For Hilco, this thing is naturally very useful. It can help him quickly create some subordinates with strong combat capabilities, but he doesn't care about the side effects of the "Glimmer Reagent" at all.

The "Glimmer Reagent" is addictive. Long-term use of the "Glimmer Reagent" will cause serious dependence on it. Hilko doesn't care. He even uses it as a means to control "Zuan". Hilko is an ambitious man. His idea is to arm "Zuan" first, so that "Zuan" can have the qualifications to fight "Piltover". He doesn't have any hope for those "Alchemy Barons" anyway. "Alchemy Barons" don't care about the future of "Zuan" at all. They only care about their own interests.

Although the use of "Glimmer Reagent" has caused endless harm, Hilco still believes that it is necessary to first fight for an equal status for "Zaan" before we can talk about governance and development.

Otherwise, "Zaan" will always be the garbage dump of "Piltover" and "Zauans" will always be inferiors.

how to say?

It can't be said that Hilco's idea is wrong.
Because if Zaun cannot obtain an equal status with Piltover, and if Piltover cannot be stopped from endlessly discharging garbage and wastewater into Zaun, then there is really no way to talk about development and governance issues.

The biggest obstacle to the development of "Zaan" is "Piltover".

"Vandel is easy to find. His lair is in Fulgrim's Bar."

"Red Rat Baron" spoke up, saying that the former leader of the resistance army has now retired from worldly affairs, and those rebels are all following Hilco, who broke with Vander.

"As for Hilco, we may have to look for him. He should have settled down in an abandoned factory."

The "Red Rat Baron" did not know where Silko's lair was, and there was no intersection between him and Silko. Of course, he also heard that the guy was infiltrating the "Gutter District". That guy was probably targeting those who were not afraid of death in the "Gutter District".

These "rats" in the "gutter area" are really willing to risk their lives if they are paid a lot of money. After all, no one cares about their lives. If they can exchange their lives for a better life for their families, then everyone is happy to do so.

"Fugen's Bar."

Ke Ling thought about it and felt that this name was actually quite poetic. "Last Drop", in some northern customs, the last bit of wine would generally be called "Fugen" or "Facai Wine", which is a kind of beautiful blessing.

"Fugen Bar" does sound more distinctive than "The Last Drop Bar", and it is also a relatively faithful and elegant translation.

"Then go to this Fulgrim Tavern."

Ke Ling looked at the "Red Rat Baron" and indicated that his next task was to find Vander.

"Yes, my lord."

The "Red Rat Baron" naturally couldn't refuse, and he didn't want to refuse this mission. He couldn't wait to take Ke Ling to harm other people. No one could escape!

"And by the way, have someone look for Hilco. Also, look for an alchemist named Singed, whose original name was Colin Levik. He came from Piltover and might be in the Sump District now."

Ke Ling then gave instructions, saying that with these guys, it would be easier to find people, as local tyrants do have their uses.

"Yes! Boss!"

Naturally, the "Red Rat Baron" had no reason to refuse Ke Ling's arrangement. After all, Vander was just a toothless tiger, and Hilco was the real "working big brother". If he wanted to cause trouble, he must cause trouble to Hilco!
The current "Red Rat Baron" has the mentality of "I can't be the only one to suffer bad luck", and he insists on taking Ke Ling with him to get rid of the other "Alchemy Barons".

Soon, "Red Rat Baron" and Ke Ling left the "Red Rat Gang Factory". Under the leadership of "Red Rat Baron", the two passed through the "Gutter Area" and came to the "Public Hex Pressure Conveyor" located in the center of the "Gutter Area". They could take this pressure conveyor to the upper level.

"Its name is Screech."

"Red Rat Baron" introduced to Ke Ling that this machine was indeed worth introducing, because if you did not take that strange road, then this machine was the only way to travel between the various levels of "Zaan" and even to "Piltover".

"The Screaming Elevator is very special."

Ke Ling nodded and observed the strange device.

The "Screaming Elevator" has a large, round belly filled with countless gears and precision iron structures.

“Some say the scream in its name comes from the iron statue of a lone wolf howling on top of the Hex Press.

Others say it is because a waiter in a black veil haunts the cabin, and every time he is carried away from Zaun and his lover on the elevator, his mournful howls shake the metal core of the machine.

"Red Rat Baron" spoke up, telling a story very much in the style of an urban legend.

"That's just Zaun's theory. The Piltover folk don't take it seriously. They conclude from the sound that the name simply refers to the cold wind that blows through the great rift valley beneath the city."

At the side, someone who was also waiting for the "Public Hex Pressure Conveyor" spoke, obviously having heard what the "Red Rat Baron" said.

The "Red Rat Baron" looked at the man. He was a little confused. Who dared to interrupt him? Didn't he know him, "Red Rat"? This was the "sewage area" and they hadn't even reached the upper part yet.

"Piltover guy?"

"Red Rat Baron" asked curiously. The people of Piltover generally do not visit the "Gutter Area" because they cannot adapt to the environment here at all.

Even when the weather in the "Gutter District" is the best, it is absolutely not suitable for the people of "Piltover" to travel.

"No, I live in the Dance Corridor."

The man, who was dressed cleanly and decently, spoke. He was accompanied by two tall and strong bodyguards. No wonder the "Red Rat Baron" thought that this guy was from "Piltover".
