Chapter 11: Alchemical Technology of Zaun
At the dock of Zaun, a small man in a cloak was about to untie the ropes of the boat. Suddenly, he was attracted by a green light and slowly walked over.

He accidentally discovered Ike's lost skateboard and looked at this technological invention from Zaun with surprise:
"Oh, it's a really clever design, but the blades in this wheel seem to be a little off."

Under the cloak is a furry face. This little man turned out to be an adorable Yordle.

Hearing someone comment on his invention, Ike, who was hiding in the shadows, couldn't help but speak up:
"You are wrong. This is specially designed for rifts because the air density is high. Ahem..."

He walked out from the shadows and accidentally pulled the wound in excitement.

"You all right, young man?"

the kindly yordle asked with concern.

"It's nothing, I just sprained my ankle..." Before Ekko could finish his words, Jinx jumped out behind him.

"Wow, hello, cute little fur ball, this is the first time I see a real Yodel! You look quite similar to my imaginary friend Ziggs, both are so furry. It would be great if he was real, but no one has ever seen him..."

Jinx's sudden appearance startled the Yodel in front of him. He took a step back and his cloak slipped off, revealing his pointed ears and big furry head.

No wonder many people in the League of Legends game like to call him Big Head.

"Oh, hello, you are such a lively girl." Seeing that Jinx meant no harm, he responded with a smile.

At this time, Ike also recognized the Yodel in front of him.

“Are you... Councillor Heimerdinger?” He said, pulling Jinx back with his hand over her mouth and whispering in her ear, “Don’t talk nonsense, he is Professor Heimerdinger! Show him respect.”

"I'm sorry, my...sister has some problems with her brain." Ekko said apologetically and looked at Heimerdinger.

"Sister? You're obviously younger than me!"

Jinx's eyes widened, and she pried open Ike's hand that was covering her mouth, protesting in a dissatisfied voice.

Fortunately, Heimerdinger didn't notice their little tricks and just lowered his head in frustration:
"I am no longer a member of parliament."

Immersed in his emotions, Heimerdinger did not notice that the blue-haired little lunatic had quietly come behind him.

"What are you doing here at the river?" Ike couldn't help but ask curiously.

"I originally wanted to come here and do my best to help the residents of Bottom City, but... I don't seem to be very welcome here."

Heimerdinger tilted his head and spoke dejectedly. He didn't even notice that his furry head was being rubbed by a pair of hands with colorful nail polish.

"Oh my god, it feels so good. Giggs never lets me touch his head..."

Jinx is not a person who stays content. She carefully stroked Heimerdinger's furry head and spoke excitedly.

Ike looked at Jinx in shock. He really underestimated the madman's train of thought.

He didn't dare to alarm Heimerdinger, so he could only lower his voice and make faces to frantically signal Jinx to stop her evil hands:
"Stop touching me, stop it!"

“Just like marshmallows!” Jinx said, ignoring him with an intoxicated look on her face.

"Shh! Stop! Ha...haha..." Ekko was dancing and gesticulating, and for a moment he was made to laugh by Jinx.

"Huh? What are you laughing at?" Heimerdinger didn't notice the abnormality on his head, vaguely felt Ekko's exaggerated body movements, raised his head and asked curiously.

"Today we really are in the same boat." Ike withdrew his hands and pretended to support his chin, changing the subject somewhat awkwardly.

"I think your injury is more serious than the sprain. What about the little girl? She is not seriously injured, right?"

Heimerdinger turned his head and glanced at Jinx behind him.

Jinx quickly hid her hands behind her back, shrugged and grinned.

"She... doesn't have any external injuries, but she may have a brain injury," Ike explained quickly.

Heimerdinger turned back to Ekko. "I'm not a doctor, but I can see that you need professional treatment."

At this time, Jinx stretched out her evil hands and took the opportunity to rub Heimerdinger's furry head.

Ike covered his face with a twitching expression, walked over to Jinx and pulled her away:
"Thank you for your concern, but we have to get to the other side of the river as soon as possible. Our friends are waiting for us on the other side. It's not safe here. But I don't know how to get across, and my skateboard is in your hands."

Heimerdinger looked at the skateboard in his hand and thought for a moment: "Go to the other side? Maybe I can help you."...

At this time, Zaun is located in the Fulgrim's Tavern in Black Alley.

This was originally Fandel's territory, where Jinx and Vi once lived together.

However, after the incident seven years ago, the owner of this place changed. Hilco occupied the Fugen Tavern and turned it into one of the most lively entertainment venues in the entire Black Alley.

This place also became the base camp of the Hilco forces.

It was still daytime and there were not many customers here. Only some of Hilco's men were playing billiards to relax after work.

Finn walked into the tavern with arrogance and saw from afar Sevika, the second-in-command of the Hilco faction, who was sitting in the base camp and repairing a damaged alchemical prosthetic arm.

The process of upgrading and transforming the alchemical prosthesis is inevitably painful. Sevika took a sip of liquor to relieve the pain. Just as she was about to light a cigarette, she saw the alchemist baron Finn walking towards her.

"Hilco never sees guests." Sevika didn't give Finn a good look at all.

Finn sat down in front of Sevika openly and said, "It doesn't matter. I'm not here to see him. Just give me some face and have a chat."

Sevika ignored him, and Finn continued to talk:

"Every time I ask my brothers what Hilco is busy with, they always mention you. Something like 'Sevika went to the port to take care of things, Sevika went to visit those idiots at the docks'. You are quite busy, sister."

"Just say it." Sevika tightened the screws on the alchemist's arm and said to Finn coldly.

"You're good at doing things, aren't you? Unfortunately, this mess doesn't belong to you, it belongs to Hilco and Jinx." Finn said in an instigative manner.

Sevika repaired her alchemical arm and sneered, "That's all you've been talking about? If you want to weaken Hilco, you're just trying to hurt my pride by provoking me."

"Ha, you're really good, Finn. Every time I think you can't be any stupider, you always push the limit." Sevika moved her new alchemical prosthetic arm, and a long knife popped out from her middle finger.

"Then I won't beat around the bush. His heart is not here at all." Finn stroked his golden chin, not caring about Sevika's ridicule at all.

He knew that Sevica's concern was Jinx, and Finn was confident about how to sow discord between her and Hilco.

"Dicheng is in chaos right now. After thinking about it, I feel like he has no intention of making back all the money he lost."

Finn took out his lighter and heated up the hot wine that the waiter had just brought.

"All Jinx has to do is knock him off his feet. Then you're left to clean up the mess."

Finn drank his wine slowly, giving Sevika enough time to think.

"I think you've seen what Hilco is like without Jinx. He only cares about Jinx. Without Jinx, he seems to have lost his soul and has forgotten all the big and small things in Bottom City."

Finn drank the rest of the wine in one gulp. "Whether it hurts his pride is another matter. Think about whether he has any brains!"

Finn said as he stood up and walked over to Sevika.

"In fact, you are not the only one who can't stand his behavior. There are many people who are more capable than him." Finn lit a lighter and moved in front of Sevika.

He was not in a hurry to persuade Sevika to rebel. All he needed now was an attitude from Sevika and then wait for Hilco to make a mistake.

Sevika had a gloomy face and hesitated before moving her cigarette closer to Finn's lighter.

Sevika's cigarette lit up, and Finn got a satisfactory answer. He left Fulgrim's Tavern with a smile.

This time he gained a lot. Not only did he confirm the fact that Jinx was missing, but he also planted the seeds of rebellion in the heart of Sevika, the second-in-command of Hilco.

The next thing to do is to win over more people who are against Hilco. In this way, we can also try to contact the group wanted by Hilco.

Finn left the tavern and saw the wanted poster of Lin Zizhi posted on the street across the street, and walked over slowly.

"Those guys are quite capable since they were able to kill those useless people under my command. Hilco is looking for them, so this is a good opportunity for me to win them over to work for me."

Finn played with his lighter and casually lit the wanted poster portrait of Lin Zizhi on the wall.

In the firelight, Lin Zizhi's wanted poster turned into ashes and drifted away in the wind.
