In the twin city-state, Piltover, the already prosperous port was full of large ships, which brought a lot of money to Piltover.

With the arrival of the much-anticipated day, the annual city festival, [Evolution Day] was held as scheduled,

During this period of time, the 100-meter steel arch bridge Sun Gate that connects the upper city and the lower city will release most of the traffic restrictions, allowing residents at both ends to pass freely.

Even the Zaunites who live in the stinky gutters have the right to visit Piltover as long as they can get decent clothes and take a good bath to deodorize—though most of them hate the high-ranking people of Uptown. The people of Zaun prefer to use this power to make a fortune, just to find something to do for the Piltover law enforcement officer.

The city is littered with bunting, banners, and balloons, and even the bright reddish-brown tiles reflect the excitement of Zaun in this case.

Every store has prepared a sufficient amount of goods in advance to avoid being sold out, and the overnight hotels are full. Even a few brass gears on the ground can be sold under such circumstances.

Young craftsmen and mechanic apprentices who long to be appreciated by big merchant families wear the craftsmen's clothes that best reflect their abilities, and take their tool kits to different merchant families to recommend themselves, looking for their own opportunities in life,

There are also some outstanding talents who focus on technological innovation choose to enter the Academy of Science and Progress to conduct technical exchanges and brainstorming with other scientific researchers, hoping to become famous in the Academy of Sciences, become new students or be hired by Dean Heimerdinger as honorary lecturer.

For most people, Evolution Day is a holiday that must be treated with caution. As long as you work hard, you will always have opportunities and wealth. However, for Lester, Evolution Day is just a little more of a festival in the ordinary.

That's all.

Lanxun Manor, located in a detached villa to the west, Lester was having breakfast with his beloved little apprentice, Syndra, while the old housekeeper, Smed, stood by, like a sleeping sculpture.

"I'll take you around in a while, and stop by the Academy of Science and Progress. During Evolution Day, the store will sell a lot of interesting souvenirs. If you're interested, buy a few more."

"Well, sir, shall I change into evening dress?"

After covering her mouth and swallowing the food in small bites to ensure that there would be no food residues in her mouth, Syndra questioned.

It was completely different from a month ago. During the period when Leicester was gone, Syndra learned a lot from Dorothea, the tailor expert of the Philos family, including makeup techniques, Piltover lady etiquette and nobility. Ms.'s daily life,

At least in Syndra's own opinion, letting the teacher take her out will definitely not embarrass the teacher in terms of etiquette.

Naturally, seeing the changes in Syndra who looked more flawless with light makeup on, Lester smiled and shook his head, and said softly.

"You don't need to wear an evening dress, just wear a little ordinary clothes, and the evening dress will be worn at the Philos family banquet in the evening."

Nodding, Syndra put the cutlery back and wiped her lips with a napkin.

I don't know if I didn't notice it or didn't care after I noticed it. My teacher didn't praise me today. This made Syndra a little disappointed, but she didn't show it.

"Okay, got it."

"You look very beautiful today, Syndra, it seems that you have studied hard with Dorothea."

The compliment that followed brought a smile to Syndra's face, and she instantly had a little more confidence in herself.

After breakfast, the two left Lanxun Manor without much delay. They declined the suggestion of the old housekeeper, Smed, to drive the carriage himself as a servant. Lester felt that it would be more grounded to let Syndrado go.

Syndra walked on the clean and tidy stone road and looked at everything in front of her curiously. Lester was also silently observing the familiar and unfamiliar city in front of her.

For example, there are a few more drainage ditches on the road, or a Fedelite-style clock tower is built on the east side. These changes are not only reflected in the architectural design, but also in the clothing style of the people in Piltover, and the weapons and equipment of the law enforcement officers. It can be said to be an improvement in all aspects on the steam carriage on the street and on the street.

From this point of view, Piltover can also be called a city of progress.

Generally speaking, the benefits brought by opening up the strait far outweigh the losses. Although the coastal ports located in the southwest of the Emerald Territory have diverted part of the profits from the fleet trade, after more than a hundred years of development, today Peel The prosperity of Twerf is still far higher than the average level of Runeterra, and it has probably caught up with Fidelet four hundred years ago.

It is not easy to achieve this level in just over a hundred years. Heimerdinger, the soul of Piltover, has paid a lot.

Just because Ziggs and Corki were "forcibly recruited" by Tristana to become a member of the Bandle Expeditionary Force, the two yordles did not join the Academy of Science and Progress with Heimerdinger and became the city of progress The cornerstone of science, otherwise Piltover would be better off.

The only problem is that Piltover's progress builds on Zaun's fall,

What is the famous crystal processing factory, metal chemical factory, or what is the notorious alchemy potion purification plant, whatever is built in Zaan, an underground city-state in the south, these environmental killers brought the alchemy baron acquired unimaginable wealth,

According to the information obtained by Lester, many alchemy barons in Zaun are secretly carrying out human body transformation and the development of biochemical poisonous gas.

These alchemy barons have risen from the market, their backgrounds are black, and there are many blood debts in their hands.

To put it simply, the Baron of Alchemy may be a gangster who competed viciously in various cruel ways all the way, and finally became the victor of the region and the boss of the underworld. that power,

And with the "local security guards" who were "spontaneously selected" by the natives of Zaan, the real owner of the factory, the upper-level businessman, is also happy to be at ease. He only needs to cooperate with the Alchemy Baron to give up some of the benefits and play a unique role. Why not do it.

One does not need to consider those natural saboteurs in Zaun who caused damage to the factory. The Alchemy Baron pays more attention to the hen that lays golden eggs than the owner of the factory. too much.

Second, there is no need to consider recruiting local workers from Zaan, because Baron Alchemy itself is a black intermediary who has mastered the human resources channel. It is normal to know how to recruit hardworking Zaan people to work in factories at low prices

Three things, if something big happened to the factory, such as worker casualties caused by a general strike, or a terrorist attack, the finger would be pointed at the Alchemy Baron, not at the big businessman living in the upper city, so there was no need to get your hands dirty You can make money lying down, this is the meaning of the existence of the Alchemy Baron.

The Alchemy Baron and the owner of the factory have reached an invisible cooperation agreement, and both parties can be regarded as getting what they need.

Only in this way, the alchemy barons who have the right to speak are inevitably greedy. The unlimited expansion of the site and the addition of factories make the already suffocating and cramped space in Zaun even more scarce. They even have to combine factories and residences to expand in all directions Create a unique living environment in the underground network.

The urban environment originally located below sea level was very bad, and the air could only be maintained by erecting extrdeveloped ventilation ducts. Now the environment is even worse. After several chemical explosions, whether man-made or accidental, Many low-level workers living in Zaan have already lived in the thick industrial waste gas, and lung disease has become the main culprit for the high mortality rate of Zaan people.

During the period when the Sun Gate was just completed, Mrs. Piltover was willing to pay out of her own pocket to help the Zaun people improve their environment. Now the residents of the two twin city-states are full of gunpowder and hostility.

The people in the upper city have had enough of the liars, robbers and thieves in the lower city, while the people in the lower city hate the people in the upper city who rely on sucking blood from the lower city to maintain their wealth. hate.

Just thinking about the current situation of the twin city-state, Lester slapped the sudden skillful hand, hitting the blade in the palm of the skillful hand on the ground,

Syndra, who was almost cut through the pocket by the blade, was stunned, as if she hadn't realized what happened.

"Hey! Did you steal something here? Young man, you have to find a suitable partner."

"Cut! How much of what you old Piltover stole from us?"

The not-so-tall thief came and fled quickly, disappearing into the crowd in the blink of an eye.

Lester didn't chase after him, nor did he intend to look for the law enforcement officer in Piltover. He just took Syndra to a drink shop and ordered two vanilla ice creams, which shocked the obedient apprentice.

Syndra now has enough self-protection power, but because he protects so well, he seems somewhat inexperienced in these emergencies.

It's time to teach Syndra how to deal with the deep-seated malice of her kind, which is not comparable to the ridicule that Syndra's village peers bring.

"Teacher, why didn't you catch that thief just now?"

After sticking out her small tongue and licking the ice cream twice, Syndra finally calmed down, regretting that she hadn't reacted in time just now.

"What's the use of catching him? He will be released in a few days. In order to let him stay in prison for a few days, I have to go to the law enforcement officer. It's really not a good deal."

Nodding her head lightly, Syndra whispered while holding the ice cream.

"Teacher, I don't quite understand. I heard the people of Piltover say that this is a city of civilization and progress. Why do some people choose to commit crimes? Won't this have a negative impact on this beautiful city?"

It was no surprise that Syndra would ask such an innocent question, Lester smiled and pointed to the palm-sized vanilla ice cream in front of the table.

"Do you think the thief just now can afford this ice cream?"

Syndra frowned, recalling the clothes of the little dwarf in Zaun just now, and nodded hesitantly.

Although the thief's clothes had been patched a lot, he still couldn't afford to buy ice cream.

"Can you afford to eat every day?"

This time Syndra shook her head without hesitation.

"That's right, the reason why he came to Shangcheng to steal things is because of this."

Lester sighed softly, took a bite of the cream of the ice cream, and scratched Syndra's dazed little nose.

"Don't you understand? To put it bluntly, it is because of the jealousy and revenge brought about by the unbalanced distribution of wealth."

"The Piltovers and the Zaunites are like two conjoined twins living in the sun and the shadows, one glamorous, known for civilization and progress, the other huddled in the dark and staggering under the weight of life Forward,

And most of the weight of Zaun's life comes from his brother Piltover. In this case, you can't expect Zaun and this civilized city that symbolizes the benchmark of progress to be proud. Hostility is inevitable. things,

No matter how good Piltover is, it is a matter of Piltover. It has nothing to do with Zaun. The people of Zaun don't enjoy the so-called civilization and progress. Because of this, they naturally don't care whether they will lower the reputation of Piltover However, completing a crime in Piltover recklessly will make them proud. "

"Then whose fault is it that caused this situation? Is it Piltover?"

Syndra looked very serious, but Lester shook his head.

"It's human nature."

"human nature?"

This extraordinary answer made Sindra stunned, but Lester did not continue to delve into how sinister human nature is. Most of the time, people are always unwilling to believe what other people say. Only after experiencing it personally can they understand deeply. Realize that people are inherently evil, because at this time they have been hurt and feel the pain.

This is also human nature.

"The most fundamental conflict between the people of Piltover and the people of Zaun lies in the unbalanced distribution of wealth. The direct reason is the unequal power. The people of Piltover have a council that controls the law enforcement officers, while the people of Zaun only have the alchemy baron who is good at infighting with big businessmen. ~www.mtlnovel.com~ Occupying the advantage of the seaport, Piltover is like a gold-sucking behemoth devouring all the wealth that arrives at the Sun Gate, and what can the Zaun people get?

They can only be assigned to the factories in Zaan set up by the people of Piltover with a fraction of the trade tariff in this feast. They can't enjoy the products they process, and can only wait for their lives to be killed in the harsh working environment. The pain is taken away, and if you want to stand up, you can only sell yourself to the people in the upper city.

The people of Piltover can decently enjoy the wealth and materials brought by foreign visitors, but the people of Zaun can only regard themselves as factories in the upper city. They think that they are the machines in the factory, but they don't know that they are just the factory in the eyes of the people in the upper city. One of the consumables can be replaced if a batch is broken.

There will never be a shortage of people in Zaan, which is why there are so many brothels in Zaan that prohibit abortion. Those children who don't know who their father is will be raised in an orphanage by the rich in Picheng in the name of charity. Become a new generation of labor force to succeed their parents,

And they will also find a prostitute to have a child in a daze, and let their child live the miserable life they once had. "

Syndra shuddered, just thinking about Syndra felt shuddering. Compared with the Zaun people in Lester's mouth, the poor life in Scaccias village is as beautiful as heaven.

"Teacher, you still didn't say what this has to do with human nature?"

Gazing into Syndra's beautiful eyes, Lester lowered his voice.

"From the day when the people of Picheng trampled the people of Zaun under their feet, but the people of Zaun did not resist, the people of Zaun were destined to be stepped on by the people of Picheng with peace of mind and become stepping stones.

Endless greed is the evil root and original sin of human beings. As long as human beings are responsible for distributing wealth, human beings will never be able to escape from the cycle of reincarnation. "
