lol: Bind Syndra at the start

Ryan cared at first. He would look back at the other person's dress and appearance to infer their background and experience. He would not switch to the next observation target until the other person actively looked away.

But this behavior did not last long, because he found that the vast majority of Zaun people...or the group of Zaun people who were willing to come to Piltover to work had similar attire and mental state.

To use the words of another world, this group of people are honest, down-to-earth and hardworking people.

This description is not a mockery, because no matter which world you are in, criticizing the environment, complaining about the world, and blaming your failures on the outside world is the easiest way to escape, but escape cannot solve the problem.

Complaining will only make things worse, because over time it will slowly stifle your motivation to act, and only by taking action... can it at least allow you to live a little better under limited conditions.

This is a group of people who are trying hard to make their lives better. They have done what they can. Although life is still difficult, their choices have at least allowed them to survive... and now I can complete the rest of the process for them.

Ryan felt that he had found a better answer to Jace's question.

Why should I help him and Mel?

For more ordinary people!

Of course, the "ordinary people" here are limited to those who are trying to save themselves. Those who have completely become minions of evil are not within the scope of Ryan's help.

Vladimir observed the changes in Ryan's expression, and added another impression of Ryan in his heart - inexplicable fraternity.

At least in his long life, he had never seen someone like Ryan who wanted to save others when he saw their suffering.

The vast majority of well-educated and good people will try their best not to do bad things, and will also provide comfort and help when they see others in trouble.

But they will not try to help the entire city-state because it is a difficult and long process.

And Llane... judging by his actions in Ionia and Bilgewater, he'll just put his ideas into action.

"Why are you helping them?"

Vladimir suddenly asked.

"Why not help them?" Ryan was stunned.

"Because this world is inherently cruel." Vladimir's tone revealed a deep understanding of this cruelty. "Unless you can change the entire world, your actions will seem somewhat... powerless."

He thought he understood this world. After all, his experience was a little too cruel for ninety-nine percent of people. His biological father gave him to the "devil" as a servant, and he ended his father's life with his own hands in order to please the "devil".

This kind of "loving father and filial son" and "deep affection between master and servant" is rare anywhere.

Ryan didn't know why Vladimir asked this. He thought about it and asked back:

“Why does the sun rise?”

"Hmm?" Vladimir had not thought about this question. Physics is considered a niche field in this magical world. After all, even the Hextech core was born based on magic.

"Because the sun feels it's time to rise."

Ryan got Vladimir into some philosophical thinking.

It's not that he deliberately didn't speak human language, but he wanted to make people in the other world understand that Ryan's worldview was a little too difficult.

As they were talking, they had already followed the crowd to a huge, dilapidated machine that looked like a metal-woven ball-shaped trash can.

Vladimir took the initiative to pay for the ticket, and his wallet, which was inadvertently exposed, attracted many people's attention.

The white steam was mixed with the strong smell of kerosene, and the stench of excrement was also added.

A huge scream sounded in the ears, and the machine called the Scream fell deeper under the huge force.

The light in the sky gradually grew darker, and smoke of various colors leaked out from the crisscrossed, corroded, and aging smoke exhaust pipe network, filtering the light from above into strange colors, which then cross-reflected between the colored glass on the streets of Zaun.

The entire Zaun is like a "doomsday version of Piltover", and even the residents of Zaun are like "survivors" who were affected by the harsh environment in the "doomsday".

"We have to go to the dark alley and find those chem-barons."

Ryan, who doesn't know when the second season's plot will begin, plans to use this window period to directly delete the second season.

As a cultured person who believes in "When in Rome, do as the Romans do", he knows that the fastest way to change the local situation is to defeat the locals by using their own rules.

In Piltover...he needs to use reason to convince Jayce, and then go through the channels of parliament to legally change the plot.

But it’s different in Zaun. The rule here is whoever has the bigger fist has the final say.

The best way to get the Alchemy Barons to behave is to greet them one by one, or to greet them when they are all together.

"I've come to find a guide..."

The route problem did not pose any difficulty for the Great Scarlet Reaper. He randomly chose a dark and narrow alley and walked through it.

Several greedy eyes followed him, and then followed him as if they were familiar with the place.

Zaun is filled with alchemical waste and gray fog, but that doesn't mean it is a desolate place.

In places where the sun doesn't shine directly, businesses and entities that don't belong to the Order camp gather here, making the prosperity and bustle here no less than Piltover.

The residents here are all kinds of people, some are human-like, some are not;

The culture here is diverse, some are evil, some are even more evil.

A girl who had been watching Ryan for a long time mustered up the courage to come over. She raised her unwashed cheek and whispered, "Hurry up and get your friends back. Some people are specifically targeting outsiders who come to Zaun."

"Don't worry, he'll be fine." Ryan thanked the girl.

Facts have proved that pure flowers can grow even in the dirtiest places.

"They will rob him of his money, and maybe even kidnap him and sell him to those alchemy barons!" The girl was a little anxious.

Seeing that Ryan did not take any action, she even wanted to go over and stop Vladimir herself.

Ryan looked at the girl in surprise. He didn't know how this girl's personality developed growing up in Zaun, but in order to prevent good people from getting into danger.

He finally caught up with the girl and asked, "Aren't you afraid that group of people will target you?"

"I...I'm not afraid. They know I have nothing to lose."

Chapter 333 Isa

Ryan stared at the girl for a moment.

The other person was probably not yet twelve years old, or she was already over but looked underdeveloped due to malnutrition. The stains on her cheeks were a testament to her hard work.

But as far as Ryan knew, a Zaunite working in Piltover would earn less than half the salary of a Piltoverite doing the same job.

A child laborer may not be able to do much work, so the gains will be even less.

They do the most work, get the least money, and don't enjoy any benefits.

Those who still insist on working under such circumstances must have something supporting them.

“Why would you work if you have nothing?”

Ryan's tone was gentle, making the other party feel no pressure.

The girl hesitated for a moment. "I just want to work. I want to be busy so that I don't have time to think about other things."

"Where are your...relatives?" Ryan hesitated for a moment before asking.

"They passed away a long time ago, peacefully." The girl showed a complicated expression, one of pain mixed with relief. "This is a good thing. At least they won't be tormented by illness anymore. They can finally sleep peacefully."

This answer made Ryan clench his fists.

He thought of the orange cat he once raised. Eight years was not a long lifespan, and compared with his almost non-existent companionship and care for it, this lifespan seemed even shorter.

But that's life, it won't reason with you.

When you reach a certain age, you will find that separation and death become frequent occurrences. There are always some things in this world that cannot get good results just by trying hard.

Accidents always come so quickly, so quickly that you are caught off guard. In the last cycle of its life, Ryan's greatest wish is to watch it sleep well again.

But such a simple wish would seem like a luxury at that time. The pain made it so anxious that it could not lie in one place for more than ten minutes, and the constant tossing and turning further aggravated the condition.

On that final night, even simply standing up and crawling became a luxury.

A little life that looked normal a month ago was destroyed into a strange appearance in just a month...

Ryan felt that life should not be treated like this.

In his previous life, he was helpless, but now he has the power to reverse it.

"Everything will be fine."

Ryan said to the girl.

The latter had no idea what he was talking about and was still hurrying towards the dark alley.

But just as the two men were about to reach the entrance of the alley, a scarlet light illuminated the darkness inside the alley.

The pedestrians nearby quickened their pace after hearing several screams, and even the Zaun people who had their eyes on Ryan stopped.

Sewer rats know how to avoid danger; it's their way of survival.

The shrill scream made the girl shudder, but she quickened her pace instead.

In Ryan's opinion, the girl's actions were driven not only by her inner kindness, but also by a bit of self-destructive emotion.

"Aren't you scared?" Ryan walked in front of the girl.

He was not afraid that the girl would get hurt, but he was afraid that there might be some scenes in the alley that were not suitable for children to see.

But then he realized a problem. As a child from Zaun, she might have seen more similar scenes than he did.

Ryan paused for a moment, but the next second he walked firmly in front of the girl.

Just because it has always been this way doesn't mean we won't change.

But the reality was different from what Ryan had imagined. There was no blood and flesh flying everywhere. The Zaun people who had targeted Vladimir were now kneeling on the ground.

Fredimir maintained his mysterious aristocratic demeanor. He looked at Ryan, then glanced at the girl. "It seems we've both made some progress."

"Uh..." Ryan looked at the girl.

The latter was also looking at him, with surprise and curiosity in her eyes that belonged to her age.

"I just met a kind person." Ryan said helplessly.

"The fact that we can meet a kind-hearted person in Zaun proves that luck is on our side." Vladimir eased the awkwardness of the situation well, and then looked at the Zaun people kneeling on the ground. These people had their minds controlled by the scarlet magic.

"These guys are working for the Alchemist Baron's men. We have to follow them to find their boss first, and then follow their boss's boss to find the Alchemist Baron."

"Are you looking for the Alchemist Baron!?"

The girl suddenly spoke up, "Are you trying to cause trouble for them?"

"Hmm? You know the Alchemist Baron?"

Ryan looked at the little girl. Although there were many alchemy barons in Zaun, not every one of them could be related to the alchemy baron.

And this girl...

Ryan suddenly found that the other person looked familiar.

With brown hair color and a short hairstyle similar to Ezreal, this character seems to have appeared in the second season of the Two Cities War.

"I know where their factory is!" the little girl shouted, as if Vladimir's 'power' had given her some kind of illusion, "There's an alchemist baron in Zaun who often captures children and takes them to his factory.

"Several of my friends were captured, and they never came back!"

"A factory is not worth the Alchemist Baron guarding it himself." Vladimir felt that the girl's proposal was of little value.

But Ryan had other opinions. "But if we go and destroy that factory first, the Alchemist Baron will definitely come and see it himself. This might be more convenient than looking for the boss's boss."

"Maybe."

Vladimir smiled. He didn't care which method was used to achieve his goal.

If Ryan wants this, then...

'Om'

A scarlet light lit up at his fingertips, and the Zaun people kneeling on the ground began to twitch instantly.

It seemed as if countless wriggling earthworms appeared under their skin... and as these "earthworms" moved, one Zaun after another fell to the ground.

This scene brought fear to the girl's face, but she pinched her palms with her nails.

"Are you scared?" Ryan noticed this detail.

But he did not blame Vladimir for this, because the other party was a helper, not a servant.

Even though Vladimir needs me now, I have to be careful about what I do.

"I'm scared..." the girl spoke the truth. "I originally thought you were the heroes in the story, but now it seems you're... more like demons. But if you really are demons, that's fine! Those alchemist barons will have to learn the devil's ways!"
