I teach kendo in the ninja world

"Tell me, what do you want to talk to me about?"

After a few people sat down, Hilko lit a cigar and blew out a smoke ring casually and asked.

"Hilko, have you met that Sheriff Marcos before, right?"

Fander asked.

"Oh, it turns out you're here to investigate."

Hilko smiled contemptuously and said, "Yes, I told him that those naughty kids who caused trouble were in your house. But that guy is also a loser. I heard that no one was caught despite this. Humph, you are quite good at hiding things. of."

"No, I'm not here to argue with you today."

Fandel shook his head, "I'm here to cooperate with you."

"Cooperation?!"

Hilko acted for a moment, then seemed to have heard a big joke, "Cooperate with you? Fandel, I once believed in you, but how did you repay my trust?"

He stood up as he spoke, with an angry look on his face, "Do you know what it feels like when the wound is submerged in sewage, and the radiation and blood are mixed together and flow through the body? From that day on, the person I used to be, the one who respected and trusted me, Silko will be dead if he touches you."

"I'm sorry, that was indeed my fault, and I am willing to bear any consequences."

Fandel lowered his head and apologized repeatedly, "I will accept whatever you want to do to me... But Hilko, I have now realized my mistakes, and I hope you can give me a chance to make up for it."

"A chance to make amends?"

Hilko came forward and met Fandel's eyes, "Let's talk about it."

"Once upon a time, we recklessly attacked the bridge, resulting in the death of countless people in the city who trusted us..."

"That's not recklessness, that's courage. They died fighting for their dignity!"

Before Fandel could finish his words, he was angrily interrupted by Hilko, "To completely deny our past, is this what you call recognizing a mistake?"

"No, no, no, I mean, using determination and courage to resist is good, but we also need something more practical to support it."

Fandel quickly explained.

"Oh? Something more practical?"

Hilko narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking that Fandel had discovered the shimmering potion he was developing.

"Yes, something more practical. Our fists alone cannot make the people of Piltover take them seriously. They have all kinds of technological weapons, but we had nothing in the past. But it is different now..."

Fandel took out a Hex crystal from his pocket, "This is what Blast got from the upper city this time, an ore containing extremely high energy."

"Oh?"

Hilko stared at the brilliant dark blue gem, his eyes flickering.

"You should have heard that there was an explosion in a building in Piltover, and it was this gem that caused it."

Fandel explained, "I suspect that the reason why the people from the city are pursuing so closely this time is because they want to retrieve the gems."

"So what do you mean?"

"Since it can cause such a strong explosion, it can naturally make more powerful weapons."

Fandel looked at Hilko sincerely, "I know Dr. Singed is here with you. He is a great scientist who is not inferior to Senator Heimerdinger in the upper city. If we can master this power, then we can have Capital that Shangcheng has to pay attention to, in order to obtain the benefits we deserve for the children of Zaun."

Fandel's words made Hilko fall into deep thought.

To be honest, this path was exactly the direction he decided to take, but he had no way to get the Hex Gem, so he could only place his hope on the Glimmer Potion.

This is a strengthening agent with extremely side effects. Although you can gain strength after taking it, it will also cause terrible mutations.

Performance-wise, it's incomparable to Hex Gem.

"So...are you willing to give this gem to me?"

After a while, Hilko asked.

"Not to you, but to Dr. Singed."

Fander emphasized, "And I have a condition."

"Heh, tell me."

"This is Blast and Ike. Both of them have good research talents. I want them to study with Dr. Singed."

Fandel pulled out two little guys from behind.

"Surveillance?"

Hilko sneered.

"It's not surveillance, it's really just learning. They all have great talents, Hilko."

Fandel explained, “We all want Zaun to live a better life, but we have to admit that the current Zaun is too far behind Piltover. Even if we find the right direction, when can we truly The end is still unknown.

He sighed, "We are not young anymore. If the matter cannot be completely solved in our hands, then we have to leave something for the younger generations so that they can move forward more easily, right?"

"Younger generation..."

Hilko looked at the two little guys standing together timidly in front of him, "Well, then come with me to see the doctor. I hope they are really talented."

Alchemist Singed, the inventor of the Glimmer Potion, is the leading scientist in Zaun.

When he saw the Hex Ore, he couldn't help but express his heartfelt admiration: "Oh, what pure and violent energy!"

"How about Doc, how does this compare to the Shimmer?"

Hilko asked from the side.

"The energy it contains is several times that of the shimmering light, but because it is too violent, the human body cannot absorb it directly."

Singed held the ore and said.

"Then find a way to stabilize it."

Araki said, "Pi City is doing this, I believe you are not inferior to them."

"Oh, of course."

Scientists are all arrogant, and people like Singed are no exception.

"And I have also found two disciples for you. Their talents will never be inferior to Heimerdinger's disciples."

Araki pushed Blast and Ike forward.

"is it?"

Singed turned his head and glanced at the two of them.

"Then I'll wait and see."

……

……

Talking to scientists is always easy. As long as you give them valuable and interesting research topics, then everything will be no problem.

After leaving Blast and Ike in Singed's laboratory, Fander and Silko returned to the chemical plant.

"Welcome back, Fander."

Hilko said. <spanstyle>Valley</spanstyle>

"No, I'm not finished yet."

Fandel shook his head, "We need power that can make Shangcheng fearful, but what we need more is time for development. If Dr. Singed has just obtained the ore, it is still early for weapons production, and Pi City's Wrath needs someone to deal with it. calm."

"What do you mean?" Hilko frowned.

"It was once my leadership that you would follow to attack the bridge, but so many people have sacrificed for our ideals, but I am still alive."

Fandel's eyes were firm, "This time, let me buy enough development time for Zaun!"

"You want to help them take the blame? Just because of those children?"

Hilko was a little incredulous, "Fander, now that you understand what we lack most, you should understand that exchanging yourself for those children is not a good thing for Zaun."

"Maybe, but they are all my children, and there is no way I would choose to hand them over. But if I don't do this, I won't be able to quell Shangcheng's anger..."

Fandel is actually in a dilemma.

"Hmph, is it the anger of Shangcheng..."

Hilko sneered a few times, "Actually, I also prepared some gadgets for them."

He waved, and a burly, bald man walked over carefully holding a test tube.

The test tube was filled with a purple fluorescent potion.

"what is this?"

Fander asked with a frown.

"I call it glimmer, and I hope it can bring some faint light to Zaun."

Hilko gently stroked the test tube, as if stroking his most beloved treasure, "But with your Hex Ore, it may not be so important in the future. But, at least now, it should be able to help us Buy enough time.”

"it?"

Fandel looked at this bottle of brightly colored potion, "What do you want to do?"

"Oh, let me show you its effect first."

Hilko called a yellow-haired gangster over and threw the shimmer potion to him.

The man had an expression of fear and excitement on his face. After taking the potion, he pulled out the stopper and drank it in one gulp.

Immediately, dark purple lines began to spread on his skin and muscles.

"Roar!"

He let out a low roar that he didn't know whether it was pain or venting, and then his body suddenly grew larger, and muscles began to bulge one after another. His arms, shoulders, legs, and all the newly appeared muscles were covered with shimmering light. The color of the potion.

In an instant, he transformed from a skinny young man into a monster that was even bigger and stronger than Fander!

Yes, it's a monster, because he obviously doesn't look normal anymore.

Fandel frowned and watched the man's transformation process, "Is this the hope you are talking about? Do you want to turn all the children of Zaun into monsters?"

"monster?"

Silko mocked, "Are we not monsters now? Wake up, in the eyes of those Piltover guys, we are not human in the first place!"

He pointed to his disfigured face, half of his face and the replaced prosthetic eyes, "Look at me, am I not a monster? Instead, the glimmer of light has given me new life. As long as we can achieve our goal and become a monster so what?"

"No, this won't work, Hilko."

Fandel tried his best to persuade, "We have the best vision, but we have to fight for it through normal means. If you do this, do this... what is the difference between you and those Picheng guys who are exploiting us?"

"I'm no different from a Piltover guy?"

Silko laughed angrily, "Do you think it was me who forced them to use Shimmer? Don't be naive, my brother. It was the desire for power deep in his heart that forced him. I just provided him with it. It's just a prop that can satisfy this desire. You may not know him, but he is a little gangster who was once taught a lesson by your daughter who is very good at beating. How about, try his current power? "

After hearing Silko's words, the yellow-haired gangster who drank the potion roared again, and then strode towards Fander.

Every step he took was like a heavy tank landing on the ground, making the ground rustle.

"Roar!"

"Wait, Hilko, I..."

Fandel took a few steps back to avoid the opponent's first punch.

"Do you feel the anger in his heart?"

Hilko raised the corners of his lips slightly, "You are already considered the most capable person in Zuan, and he is just a little gangster who can be seen everywhere. But with just a small bottle of Glimmer, the gap between you is only It was wiped out. Fandel, can you think about it, if you were followed by hundreds or even thousands of such companions, would the attack on the bridge have failed so miserably?"

Boom!

Boom!

The yellow-haired gangster's offensive became more and more fierce, and Fandel could no longer completely avoid it, so the two started a fierce fight.

After being strengthened by the shimmering potion, the yellow-haired gangster's power was far superior to that of Fander, but the sudden change in his body made him extremely uncomfortable, and many of his movements were uncoordinated.Fandel's combat skills were even surpassed by several steps.

Although the slight loss of reason made him look very unintelligent, it also made him fearless of pain and fearless of death.

The result is that such a little gangster who couldn't even beat Vi was now able to fight on a par with Fander in a short period of time.

"How is it, my brother?"

Hilko asked leisurely from behind, "How do you feel?"

"I think... no!"

After a while, Fandel had basically adapted to the opponent's attack rhythm, and found the right opportunity to knock him to the ground with a clever move.

"Even if there are hundreds of me, I can't scare those people from the city."

Fandel spread his hands, "What's more, he is not as good as me."

"No, you got it wrong,"

Hilko shook his head, "We don't need to scare those people in the city, we just need to scare the sheriff. Whether the criminal is caught or not, isn't it just a matter of his words?"

"But Grayson can't agree..."

"Then find someone who might agree, Fandel..."

Hilko interrupted Fandel, "Do you still remember the young boy who followed her? He was impulsive, eager to do meritorious service, and had a sense of justice, but his principles were not that strong..."

His voice was like a demon whispering.

"What better person to control than someone like this?"

"You want to give it to Grayson?"

Fandel was shocked and angry, "She is one of the few people in the upper city who is willing to treat us as equals."

"what!"

Silko sneered, "Equal treatment? Equality like charity, I would rather not. Wouldn't it be better to replace someone with a more obedient attitude? Fandel, I hope you will keep in mind that for Zaun, the most valuable What we need is mercy from the people of Piltover. Do we need mercy? No! We want to make them fearful!"

"I think this matter can be discussed further..."

"It doesn't matter. If you can't do it, just let me do it. Just put everything on my head. In the future, you can also expose me or even help them catch me. It doesn't matter."

Hilko turned and left, "But before that, just stay here."
