Twin Cities: I am the man of many myths

Chapter 171: Zuan technology, shocking!
"Orianna. Orianna!"

Singed's eyes widened, and he had lost his usual composure. He leaned over and hugged Orianna fiercely, his big hands stroking the back of Orianna's head.

Orianna was stunned at first, then she gently reached out and patted Singed on the back.

"I'm sorry, Dad."

"Sorry? What have you done to me? Orianna, I am sorry for you. It's my fault that I didn't take good care of you and made you suffer." Singed said excitedly.

Li Ke did not go forward to disturb the reunion of the father and daughter, but glanced at Kalma beside him. Then, he saw Kalma looking at Orianna with a scrutinizing and shining gaze.

Noticing Li Ke's gaze, Karma turned her head and looked at Li Ke, then she nodded.

She sensed something unusual about Orianna, which was not the same as what Li Ke said. This girl was really dead, and her soul was filled with the aura of the Soul Lotus, which was a symbol of the rebirth of the soul in the land of the Soul Lotus after death.

But what can I do?

The person has already walked out of the soul lotus, or was sent here by the spirit of salvation himself.

"I'm leaving first, Irelia, I have something to say to you." Karma said, looking at Irelia.

"With me?" Irelia pointed to her cheek, a little surprised.

Karma nodded. Irelia hesitated for a moment, then walked forward and stood in front of Karma.

"What about me?" Akali raised her hand in confusion.

There were only three Ionians present. What would she do after Karma and Irelia left?
"Haven't you decided on your path?" Karma said meaningfully after hearing Akali's question. After she finished speaking, she glanced at Li Ke.

Li Ke also said, "Akali, if you don't mind, why don't you come with Jinx and I to Bilgewater?"

"Leave Ionia?" Akali was stunned.

In the tree house at that time, when Li Ke mentioned the Bilgewater incident, the expressions on Irelia and Karma's faces showed obvious resistance. They were both full of rejection and opposition to war and violence, but Akali was different. She was a little excited at the time.

After all, she is a martial artist, and what she practices is the philosophy of pruning. Akali may not be bloodthirsty, and it may not be right to say that she likes violence, but to say that she is against violence and hates violence is definitely not the case.

Karma said nothing more. She stretched out her hand to open a passage and took Irelia away from the coastline.

Singed and Orianna finished their greetings. Holding Orianna's hand, Singed came to Li Ke. His eyes, which used to be cold and dangerous, were now filled with warmth. Singed said to Li Ke gratefully, "Thank you, Li Ke."

"I, I really don't know what words to use to express my current mood."

"It's okay, Professor. I understand." Li Ke put his hand on Singed's shoulder, patted him gently, and said with a smile: "Professor, we are family."

"Brother Li Ke, thank you." Orianna looked at Li Ke and said.

Li Ke looked at her and blinked, and Orianna also blinked understandingly and smiled sweetly at Li Ke.

She looked only slightly older than Isa, but the difference was that in terms of mental age, Orianna was far older than her peers.

She still remembered what Li Ke had said to her, telling her not to tell anyone about what happened in the Soul Lotus, as it was a secret between her, Li Ke, and Ali.

"Professor, what are you going to do next? Go straight back to Zaun?"

"What do you need from me?" Singed said seriously after hearing Li Ke's question.

"You should know about Bilgewater. I asked Janna to tell Hilco that Zaun will not join in the fun on Bilgewater. However, Jinx and I are planning to go to Bilgewater because Sarah is not only my business partner, but she is also the bridesmaid at Jinx's future wedding."

After hearing this, Singed immediately understood what Li Ke meant, but he said hesitantly:
"The poison I'm researching will attack indiscriminately. For a place like Bilgewater, all we need to do is put the poison into their canals, and within a week, the city will be completely turned into a dead city. But... that's definitely not what you want."

"Professor, don't be so extreme." Li Ke looked at Singed speechlessly.

"I understand. In the future, when developing genetic biology, I will research more inventions that help people instead of killing them." Singed smiled and nodded.

He then said, "But if you don't need me to do this, then what do you need me to do?"

"Jinx is planning to build a small airship, but it will take a lot of time for her to do it all by herself. Although you are mainly focusing on bio-genetic alchemy, I think it will be no problem for you to help Jinx."

Singed's main focus is alchemy, but that doesn't mean his mechanics are bad. Maybe compared to Jinx, Viktor, and Jayce, Singed is inferior in this aspect, but looking at the entire Zaun and Piltover, his attainments in mechanics can be called a master.

After listening to Li Ke's words, Singed hummed, then he pulled Orianna's hand and said with a smile: "Orianna can help too."

After hearing this, Li Ke looked at Orianna and asked curiously: "Orianna, do you still understand these?"

"Well, if I hadn't been sick, I would be a student at Piltover University now." Orianna looked up and said to Li Ke.

Li Ke thought about it and felt that it made sense. A good father will have a good daughter. Singed was a professor at the University of Piltover. It was normal for Orianna to be interested in science since she was a child under Singed's education.

And in the background story, Orianna obviously also knows something about mechanics.

"Then I'll ask you and the professor to help Sister Jinx build an airship." Li Ke bent down and stretched out his hand to Orianna.

Orianna laughed, stretched out her little hand, and patted Li Ke's big hand gently.

Afterwards, Li Ke and the law enforcement officers, along with Akali who had a strange expression on her face, returned to Yuanjie Village with the help of Janna.

Although Janna couldn't easily open a passage like Karma and teleport everyone back directly, her speed was not too slow because she could use the power of the wind.

When they returned to Yuanjie Village, Li Ke brought Singed, Orianna and several law enforcement officers to the repair shop. Jinx, who did not follow them, was in the living room. When Li Ke and his friends were on the coastline, she had already started building a spaceship.

She changed into work clothes, tied her hair back, and her cheeks and long arms and legs were stained with oil.

“Hey, Doctor~” Jinx greeted Singed, then glanced at Orianna and said with a smile, “Is this your daughter?”

"Orianna, call me sister." Singed said.

Orianna nodded obediently and called Jinx "sister" sweetly.

Jinx smiled when she heard this and wiped the sweat off her forehead with her arm. She stood up straight with one hand on her waist and said with a smile, "Okay, okay, but I'm busy now. By the way, Doctor, are you here to help me?"

"Well, are you just starting to build it?" Singed walked forward and looked at the materials on the ground. Those materials were found for Jinx by the villagers of Yuanjie Village and the resistance members brought by Irelia.

Reaching out and picking up the sketch drawn by Jinx, Singed squinted his eyes and looked at it.

How should I put it? It's very sloppy, and it's stealing the creation process of the Hextech airship.

“It’s very nice, but is the structure stable?”

"Doctor, as long as it works." Jinx said casually.

As she spoke, she twisted an object with a wrench to tighten the wooden boards nailed together. Then, she was about to reach out to get the parts beside her, but a small hand holding a No. 3 screw appeared in front of Jinx.

“Huh?” Jinx looked at Orianna in surprise, “Do you understand?”

"I don't quite understand it yet, but I can recognize the model of the screws. This one and this one use the same model of screws, right?" Orianna said.

"Hey, you're so smart. You and Isa will definitely get along well. When I return to Zaun, I will introduce Isa to you. She's my sister, and she's also a little genius." Jinx nodded, reached out to pick up the screw handed to her by Orianna, and started tinkering with it.

"Is there anything I can help you with?" Li Ke asked.

"Yes, Li Ke, there are a lot of heavy things outside. I can't carry them. You carry them." Jinx said immediately.

Li Ke shrugged, "You will be disappointed. I am not feeling well right now and cannot lift anything too heavy."

As he spoke, Li Ke looked at Akali, who seemed to be an outsider and had deliberately suppressed her presence, and said, "Akali, can I ask for your help?" "."

"What's in it for me?" Akali narrowed her eyes.

"Dinner is included." said Li Ke.

“Okay.” Akali agreed, and walked out the door to carry the heavy things that Jinx mentioned. They were placed outside the tree house in a scattered pile.

Three days later, at the entrance of Yuanjie Village, villagers were watching with curiosity, looking at Li Ke and Jinx in the crowd in front.

Seti was also accompanying his mother, looking ahead with his eyes wide open. The ears on his head moved, which actually looked a little cute.

"Jinx, is it true that this thing you built won't fall apart while flying?" Li Ke asked worriedly, looking at the "flying ship".

Jinx's fair little hands slapped the airship hard, and Li Ke was afraid that the thing would suddenly fall apart.

"Don't worry, Li Ke. Even if it falls apart, don't we still have the flying board? We won't fall to death anyway." Jinx said confidently.

In three days, with the help of Singed and Orianna, the villagers of Yuanjie Village, and the ditch law enforcement officer, she built a spaceship. The spaceship was not big, but it was called a spaceship, but in fact, according to Li Ke, it was more like a hot air balloon?
And the appearance of this thing is also very Jinx's personal style.

The hull, which is made of thin gray iron sheets and wooden boards, is covered with graffiti of various animals, including a one-eyed rabbit, a ferocious blue cat face with an open mouth, a pink and blue evil smiling face, and so on.

The power of the flying ship is still Hexgems. Although Jinx seems to have discovered a new energy source in Ionia, she has not yet developed it successfully because there are no experimental instruments here. Therefore, for the stability of the spacecraft, there is no problem in choosing Hexgems.

Stable, reliable, and powerful, this thing is a groundbreaking invention and a great treasure that will not become outdated even after another hundred years.

"Come on, get on board!"

Jinx was the first one to climb into the airship. Since she was going to help Sarah fight, she changed into her combat uniform. She wore a tactical vest on the upper body, black slim pants on the lower body, and an exquisite blue bracelet on her right wrist. She gave people a clean and neat feeling. Even without looking at her cute face, Jinx actually had a kind of cold and royal sister style.

But if you look at her face, her crazy and confident smile destroys this cold feeling.

Li Ke was the second one to board the boat. Although he still felt that this thing was very dangerous, he was willing to trust Jinx.

But after the two men got on the boat, one person refused to come up.

Li Ke looked at her and said with a smile:
"What's wrong, come up?"

Akali had a cool expression and shook her head to refuse.

Are you kidding me about this?
Something that took three days to make might look pretty good, but Akali was involved in the production. How could she not know what the internal situation was like?
This is a shabby house that was put together with nails! Who knows if those nails and screws were tightened?
Akali doesn't understand this, but that doesn't stop her from thinking this thing is dangerous!
What's more, these guys said that this thing is supposed to fly into the sky. Not to mention that Akali thinks this thing has no chance of flying, even if it really can fly, what if it suddenly falls apart while flying, wouldn't that mean they're dead?
"Don't worry, when you come up, you will be the first Ionian to ride a flying vehicle. When you see Shen then, you can say that he is old-fashioned and out of date. You will know more than Shen by then." Li Ke thought for a while and said to Akali.

Akali heard this and her eyes moved.

Li Keyou noticed her little expression and found it funny in his heart, but he added seriously: "Shen keeps talking about balance, saying that you are not qualified enough and cannot distinguish between right and wrong in this world, but if he doesn't know as much as you do, then he is still qualified..."

"Stop talking, and start the boat!" Akali leaped lightly and appeared next to Li Ke and Jinx.

Li Ke breathed a sigh of relief.

Just kidding, no one knows when Li Ke’s weak time will end, but Li Ke estimates that it is not far away, because he can already feel that his strength is recovering. Therefore, before his strength returns, Akali is the strongest person.

In a one-on-one fight, Akali can even beat Vandel, but that doesn't mean Akali is much stronger than Vandel.

Combat power is not simply a matter of numbers. It is not about comparing numbers, nor is it like playing cards.

An example is when two people with similar strength fight to the death and it is difficult to determine the winner. Does it mean that just because A is slightly stronger than B, A can definitely kill B in a fight to the death?
Of course not. Mentality, courage and wisdom are also key factors in determining victory or defeat.

Vandel rushed into the Noxian battle formation and defeated a hundred people at once without any problem. If you ask Akali to do this, she will definitely not be able to do it.

Because Akali is a mortal, even if she is fighting a hundred people at once, she will be hurt by an arrow or a sword or a gun, but Vandel will not be hurt.

But if it is a one-on-one fight, Akali has learned the art of killing, and her attacks focus on the opponent's weaknesses, all of which are fatal.

In a one-on-one situation, there are very few people in Valoran who can beat Akali. Even if it's Garen, that humanoid monster, his fighting skills can't possibly be better than Akali's.

At this moment, in this space of only four square meters, with three people standing and various things piled up, it does not seem crowded.

Li Ke looked at Jinx.

Jinx raised her long legs and stomped her black boots hard on the control console of the spaceship. She pulled the chain hard with both hands, and then a rumbling sound was heard.

As the bottom of the spacecraft began to vibrate, Akali instantly grabbed the handrail beside her. A hint of worry appeared in her beautiful eyes behind her mask.

She is not afraid of heights, but she is really scared now.

The villagers of Yuanjie Village were also watching.

Babu looked, and then he saw the spaceship leave the ground.

"Oh my god! That thing actually flew!"

"how did you do that?"

“This, this is really made with our stuff?”

Seti was also shocked as he looked at the flying "monster". Looking at it and listening to the sound ringing in his ears, Li Ke's voice suddenly rang in Seti's mind. He remembered the scene in which Li Ke pointed at his head and spoke to the students in the classroom with a smile.

What did Teacher Li Ke say at that time?
Oh, yes——

"Being strong doesn't just mean physical fitness, kids, sometimes that's important too."

And now, Sett saw the power that Li Ke talked about.

Flying
That strange, tattered-looking land ship actually flew!
"Wuhu~!!!"

Above the sky above Yuanjie Village, the high-pitched voice of the blue-haired little madman rang out. Jinx looked out and waved her hands. Half of her body was outside the spaceship. Her coat made a crackling sound in the strong wind. Li Ke hurriedly stepped forward and hugged Jinx's waist.

"It's flying, Li Ke, see, I told you it's okay!"

"Who do you think I am? I'm Jinx!"

"I am the most powerful genius in Zaun!"

The spaceship took off and reached a height of several dozen meters. Jinx laughed out loud, her voice full of pride.

And below, the villagers of Yuanjie Village watched this scene. Among them were even a few elderly people who were about the same age as Babu. They even knelt down and worshiped the spaceship in the sky.

They simply could not understand how this was done. In the Ionian's perception, flying was an ability that only gods possessed. Even the adults in those secluded sects could not do it.

The same was true for Babu. He also looked at the sky in shock and saw that the black spot was getting smaller and smaller, flying away from Yuanjie Village and towards the sea.

This incident shocked most of the villagers in Yuanjie Village.

Zuan technology is shocking!

But among this group of people, there was a group who did not feel awe and worship towards the monster flying in the sky, but were excited and curious.

The children of Yuanjie Village looked at the sky with bright eyes.

And a seed has taken root in their hearts and started to sprout.
