Chapter 208: Finally Arrived in Piltover
But after the pungent smell disappeared, Li Ke smelled another smell.
Sweetness.
Ah...sweet air.
Li Ke immediately thought of the chemistry knowledge he had learned on Earth, and immediately realized that this might be because the heavy metal pollution had reached a limit.
He looked over there and immediately discovered that not far ahead, there was a pool of blue water that was constantly boiling and emitting sweet steam.
Not only that, the water was also gurgling and churning constantly, and from time to time there were flashes of lightning and fire appearing under the water. A seagull landed on it, and the next moment it instantly froze, and then turned into a ball of flames.
Damn, the pollution is not low...
And it really is a magical world, right?! Is industrial pollution so magical?!
When Li Ke was about to hold his breath and inform his men not to breathe, he saw an Ionian dressed as a warrior, breathing in the pollutants in the air with an intoxicated look on his face, and then spoke with a look of praise.
"You said that Piltover is more advanced than Ionia. Even the air is sweet."
“…”
Li Ke didn’t know what to say. You just chose to ignore the pungent smell in front of you, right?
He didn't say anything, but gently grasped the wooden sword at his waist. Suddenly, a fresh breath enveloped them all, so that they could no longer smell the sweet air.
"It feels strange to me here. Nature seems to be crying."
At first, Ahri, who was acting as an air man, had no intention of speaking anything. She looked at the ball of pollution and couldn't help but stretch out her claws.
The same happened to Lana and Seti on the side. Although they themselves did not react, Seti's hair shone golden, while Lana's was blood red.
Obviously, these semi-magical creatures felt the cries of nature and magic here, so they, who could be said to be the children of nature, subconsciously wanted to take action.
Li Ke coughed lightly, and then they reacted and retracted the attacking posture they had unconsciously revealed.
"What happens here has nothing to do with us, and we won't live here..."
Li Ke explained that although he had spent most of his money, he had not touched some precious materials and money for settlement.
With a little more work, it should be no problem to support their good life in Piltover.
And if all else fails, he can always rob the local gangs.
The ship quickly passed the polluted area, and Li Ke also saw the darkness of Piltover.
Zaun.
He clearly saw that the scenery of Zaun and the miraculous dam in the distance were two completely different extremes. Looking at the scenery over there, you can think of the greatness, order, gears, and precision of mankind.
But Zaun...
Houses made of used parts can be seen everywhere, in strange shapes, with almost every person wearing a different style of clothing. There are also children who are obviously sick but are still running around with laughter.
“The people here…”
Mei Mu came up to Li Ke and the others at some point and gave each of them a pill.
"They are so strange. They have strong magical talents, but they seem to be suppressed by something. Moreover, the magic here is so distorted..."
Mei Mu's eyes couldn't help but twitch. If the situation here in Piltover happened in Ionia, it would be the result of the Order of the Balance coming out in full force. The three giants of the Shadow Cult would directly kill everyone here, and then use their life essence to smooth out the distortion here.
But unfortunately, this is not Ionia, and the magic here is distorted and cannot affect the spiritual realm.
She lamented about this, and after her own experience she realized that she couldn't easily enter the spiritual realm here. Only with the ring holding the blade of the spiritual world could she enter freely.
So she didn't understand how Shen led Li Ke and the others to use the spiritual realm in Noxus? Logically speaking, the thickness of the spiritual realms on both sides was about the same... and they were not afraid of the magicians there.
Among the methods she knew, only one who held the Spiritual Blade could do this, otherwise it was impossible to do it at all.
Are you really brothers?
Mei Mu immediately thought of the possibility of borrowing the blade from the spirit world.
"Yeah, it's really twisted and full of resentment, but it has little to do with us. We're not here to purify this place."
Li Ke nodded and said nothing. He didn't come here to stir up anything, but to wait quietly for login.
After sending out several flag signals, their ship, under the guidance of the navigator, sailed onto a metal channel. Under the sunlight, this metal channel was almost golden. As soon as the ship stepped onto this metal channel, the water flow under the ship changed dramatically, carrying the ship quickly towards a dock.
Li Ke saw from a distance that countless people were watching the arrival of the ship. When the ship sailed along the metal channel to the dock, it miraculously followed the force of the water flow and entered the port for docking. During this period, the captain did not even perform a single operation.
The crew lowered the step and people began to rush out of the boat. Li Ke didn't wait for the captain who had finished his work to come and get close to him, and he took his men and followed the crowd out of the boat.
Because it is a passenger ship, the dock is similar to the passenger ship dock. There is not a lot of cargo, but in the distance you can still see countless cargo ships loading and unloading.
But Li Ke and other guests took another path.
Obviously, the dock management method of separating cargo and people has been implemented here for a long time . To be honest, this is the first time Li Ke has seen it in this world. After all, it is luxurious... or the passenger flow is enough to open a dock to receive guests. I am afraid that only Piltover can do it. Other docks need to transport goods more or less.
The group walked out of the dock. Just like places like train stations, as soon as they walked out the door, they could see many strange carriages parked next to the dock.
Most of these carriages are made of brass. Although they have places to tie horses, they are real steam-powered carriages. Some of the carriages do not emit steam continuously, but instead have a bunch of strange-shaped gears.
But just as Li Ke was observing these carriages and was about to find a friendly coachman to ask where the travelers could stay, a guard came over and looked quite cautious.
Li Ke asked curiously.
"What's wrong, officer?"
The police officer looked at the no less than twenty weapons on Li Ke's body and nodded.
"Yes sir, you are not right from head to toe."
