Lux's Magic Penetration Rod

Although the bed was very comfortable, neither Lux nor Ino had a good night's rest.

So much so that when they woke up the next day, the two little girls' eyes were swollen.

Under this situation, they could only awkwardly postpone their plan to walk around the streets and learn about Piltover. The two of them had a morning of magic training under the supervision of Kalya, during which everyone was in tacit understanding. Didn't mention what happened last night.

They didn't leave the room until noon. After eating something in the hotel restaurant, they dragged the two huge boxes out of the hotel.

They need to store some of the items in the vault first.

Spending ten gold hex, Lux rented a large safe in the Zodiac basement, and then stuffed her two suitcases into it - the daily necessities and two sets of armor had been taken out, and the remaining Partly, Lux remained untouched except for some gold which was exchanged for gold hex.

After getting the exclusive key, Lux and Ino let out a long breath almost at the same time.

()★ヾ(ω`)o

Finally, I have saved these things, and then I can move around freely!

"What to do next?" Ino walked side by side beside Lux and put his hand on the hilt of Lux's sword. "It's almost dusk - Kalya doesn't want us to go back to study in the evening, right? ?”

"I'm not that harsh." Kalya snorted, "Next... let's investigate this city carefully. Without investigation, you have no right to speak."

……………………

Investigating this kind of thing sounds complicated, but for Lux today, it is actually very simple.

When she was in Mithril City, she had already tried to investigate the lifestyle of Demacia civilians. Although her main purpose at that time was to find out the frost situation, during the stay, she still learned from the local people's information. I learned a lot about their way of life.

When promoting disaster patrol knights, she learned a lot of information and data about farmers' farming.

Later, while on the Taiyin Stone, Lux had a lot of exchanges with people from all walks of life under the guidance of Kalya.

Lux was originally optimistic and cheerful by nature, and easy to get close to people. After this journey, she has become a social butterfly - the kind who can chat with anyone in most cases.

In Piltover, the direction she needs to investigate is the daily life, food, clothing, housing and transportation of the people of Piltover. These things are trivial and detailed, but usually she can get a lot of useful information just by buying a few things and chatting with the boss - this For Lux, this level of communication is simply a piece of cake, not worth mentioning!

Prices and product quality and sources; wages and job details; land prices and geographical location and surrounding environment...

In this seemingly casual chat, Lux got a lot of information, while Kalya quickly sorted out the data.

During the day, Lux walked around, and at night, Kalya collected data alone.

Mrs. Piltover's positive attitude towards business greatly accelerated Lux's investigation.

Here, every store will post recruitment notices in the most conspicuous places in their windows; and many houses for sale or for sale will also openly display their price tags - these prices are certainly suspected of being overpriced. But the data itself is still enough to serve as a reference.

At the beginning, Lux didn't quite understand why Kalya insisted on investigating Piltover by herself.

However, as she and Ino walked for a few days, Lux could clearly notice that this city was different without even comparing it with the data obtained by Kalya.

It seems there's nothing in Piltover that Kim Hex can't handle - and if it can't be done, there aren't enough Kim Hex.

For example, in the entire Piltover area, the Manor District in the north of the city has the smallest number of shops, but the prices are staggeringly high, and the variety is enough to dazzle Lux.

She even saw ground dragon lizards for sale in a certain pet store!

Looking at these little guys with six-figure prices, Lux couldn't help but have the idea that "in Piltover, as long as you have money, you can buy anything."

When Lux explains her status as a tourist, she often hears the Piltover people boasting about their pride in Piltover.

"We have no nobles, and commoners do not need to be the fuel of the empire like the Noxians. Here, everyone is equal in front of Jin Hex - oh, thank you for the tip."

Yes, in Piltover, gold is everything, and even political power is influenced by money - in Piltover newspapers, there are people using very direct language to solicit sponsorship, hoping to raise enough deposits to join. Parliament, and after he succeeds, he will give investors "equivalent returns" and so on.

Everything looked extremely beautiful, everything seemed to be just as those Piltover people said, everyone was equal before Jin Hex.

But...is this really the case?

According to the survey data, the further south Piltover goes, the lower the land prices, commodity prices and wages are, and the reduction ratio is extremely disproportionate - when it comes to places close to Zaun, the work wages here are even less than those in the north of the city. One-third, but the price of goods and land is still one-third of that in the north of the city!

With the same job as a waiter, one can earn about ten gold hex per month at Lanxun Manor in the north of the city; but in the south of the city near Zaun, one can earn neither.

Then if we get to Zuan...

Thinking of this, Lux shook her head - unknowingly it was the tenth day of Piltover's investigation, and now only the academy area was left to be visited. When she finished the academy area, she was going to go to Kalya's mouth. "Another World" took a look.

……………………

The next morning, the sky was clear and clear.

Lux woke up very early with something on her mind, and the sun hadn't even risen when she opened her eyes.

But Ino got up earlier than her. When Lux finished washing up in a hurry, Ino had already returned with a small notebook.

"I just asked the front desk about the academy area." Ino raised the notepad in his hand, "He said that Piltover's Evolution Day is coming soon, so there is a large performance at the theater. , and the School of Science and Progress has several open classes - I have copied the course schedule."

Lux put on her sword and took Ino's notes.

"Open classes? Does Piltover still have this kind of tradition?" Kalya was a little surprised. "It seems that the people of Piltover have a very generous attitude towards knowledge. Let me see what they are talking about - oh, when I didn't explain."

"What do you mean?" Lux obviously didn't know why Kalya suddenly changed her words, "Is there something wrong with the course schedule? Did Ino copy it wrong? Why do I feel like I can't understand the names of these courses?"

"As long as you don't understand, it's a cunning trick. It's said to be an open class, but normal people can't understand it at all." Kalya sighed, "Sure enough, I shouldn't expect them to be truly willing to share knowledge."

"So we're going to class?"

"Listen to the hammer, none of us can understand it." Kalya said helplessly, "Look at this course schedule. Composite tidal power engineering machinery. Can this thing be taught as an open class?"

"so?"

"So you should go to the theater, go out early, maybe you can get a good seat." Kalya chuckled, "The investigation task is almost completed, I haven't sorted out the data here, so you can go to the theater today Just take a walk and relax."

"Then, it's time to go!" Lux picked up the hairband and put it on her head, "Hurry up, Ino, we have to hurry up!"

After a quick breakfast, the two girls left the hotel hand in hand and headed straight to the Piltover Theater in the Academy District.

Then, a block away from the Grand Theater, they saw a hopelessly long line.

They are all here to get tickets.

Tickets for Evolution Day's performances are so cheap that they cost almost nothing.

Naturally, there are a lot of things that are free of charge that people are snatching up. In addition, since this place is close to Zaun, many Zaun people will come over at this time to "see the world."

Lux was dumbfounded as she looked at this twisted and twisted team that went around several times but still couldn't see the end. She knew that there were many people in Piltover, but compared to the calculated data, this crowded scene was still the reason. The direct impact is greater.

Then, just when Lux was hesitant to give up her plan to watch the show, a sound of hawking came from beside her.

"Want infield tickets? The last two tickets!"

Marked-up ticket scalpers – well, that’s very Piltover.

Kalja’s Little Class Piltover Avant-garde Art:

The Piltover Grand Canal, which monopolized trade between the two oceans, brought Piltover astonishing wealth. This wealth not only greatly stimulated Piltover's economy and supported scientific and technological research, but also promoted the development of Piltover's avant-garde art. The artists here broke away from the cage of classicism and developed unique Piltover avant-garde art - however, in the eyes of traditional classical artists, this art form is a kind of "grandstanding caused by having too much money to burn" ".
