Warwick!?
Lilin's pupils shrank, now he finally knew who the fifth hero was.
Unexpectedly, Warwick turned out to be Vi and Jinx's guardian, so why was he transformed into a werewolf by Singed?
Jinx seems fairly normal now, so how did she become such a lunatic?
All kinds of thoughts in Lilin's mind, and he felt danger looming closer and closer.
I can't trust my memories to guide me to a happy ever after.
It's a wise choice to get the hextech gemstone as soon as possible to make the mech suit.
In the winding alleys of Zaun, Vander led the way without hesitation.
Caitlyn, who was behind Lilin, kept pulling him several steps away from the man in front of him.
This is to avoid any sudden movements, and to have time to react.
"Come this way." After turning another corner, Vander looked back at the two, and then focused his attention on Lilin, who was in the lead, "You shouldn't be from Piltover, right? ?"
"Well, I'm from Ionia and escaped to Piltover 4 years ago because of the war."
"War... I hear the Noxian invasion was halted the past two years because a resistance leader?"
"Irelia of Placidium's Blade Will." Lilin said a name, "In the battle of Navori's Stand, she led the resistance army to defeat Placidium's enemy and opened the counterattack."
Beside him, Caitlyn raised her eyebrows slightly, and sighed in her heart.
None of these things have been reported in Piltover's newspapers, it seems that he is still very concerned about his hometown.
"Ah, yes, I remembered." Vander exhaled, "You are quite lucky to be able to escape at the beginning of the war."
Lilin shook his head, worrying not about the past.
I don't know how long it will be before Vander will be dragged away by Singed to undergo his transformation, turning into the uncaged Wrath of Zaun.
By then, Vi and Jinx, who he had been caring for, would have split up for some reason and parted ways, one becoming a lunatic in the undercity, and the other going to the upper city to become Caitlyn's future partner.
"Are you alright?" Caitlyn asked softly, in a voice only the two could hear, noticing the unusual expression on his face.
"Fortunately, I thought of something." Lilin waved his hand to tell her not to worry.
Whether it's Warwick or Jinx, it's going to be a problem in the future if I don't deal with it now.
There's still time, hopefully it's too late for me to do something to change their fates.
Making up his mind, Lilin let out a deep breath and began to think about what to do.
First of all, it's foolish to get straight to the point.
He can't always walk up to Vander and say: You'll be transformed into a wolf monster in the future, and Jinx and Vi will become enemies, right?
Not considering whether Vander will believe it, Vander's fist will definitely hit Lilin in the face before he entertains the thought.
Second, change must be gradual, and he can only guide them gently from behind the scenes.
I don't know if there is a destiny in the world of Runeterra.
If the world has a corrective power as described in many novels, fixing things to stray away established path will end up in more tragedies.
But since there are so many parallel worlds in the main universe, this shouldn't happen...probably.
Lilin thought about it again and again, and decided to first inquire about the current relationship between Vander and Singed, then gather intelligence on Zaun after returning. It's best to wait until the suit is finished.
"Have you heard of a man named Singed?" he asked the man leading the way softly.
"Singed?" Hearing the name, Vander puzzled, "I don't think so... You're looking for this man also?"
"It's nothing, I heard that he invented an extremely unstable alchemy bomb for Noxus. It would exterminate all in its way, everywhere it affected became a forbidden area for life, killing countless people."
"Used in the war?" Caitlyn looked shocked and exasperated. "These Noxians are mad! Not only did they initiate wars everywhere; but using such inhumane chemical weapons!?"
Vander went silent for a while, and hesitantly said: "I know someone who studies Chemtech weapons, but for your sake, I'd rather you not meet him."
"Why? Shouldn't the wardens arrest him for such a heinous person who participated in the war!?"
At this stage, Caitlyn has not experienced enough hardships; her thoughts still naive, and unable to understand Vander.
Lilin suppressed her anger: "Calm down Caitlyn. Vander said that it was for our own good."
"The undercity is not as simple as you think, young lady."
Vander stopped and points to a sign above his head, which reads Benzo's Pawn Shop.
"Wait here." He pushed open the door and walked in without Lilin and Caitlyn.
"Why are you speaking for him?" Caitlyn's eyes were filled resentment. "The man you mentioned clearly committed an outrageous crime, and he deserves judgement!"
Lilin was dumbstruck. Originally, he just wanted to see what Vander knew about Singed, but it ignited Caitlyn's sense of justice.
AHHHHH...
"Caitlyn, this world is not black and white, but a delicate gray. There are many times when we do things we don't like or agree with."
Lilin paused, "As you can see, although Piltover and Zaun are intertwined, Zaun has actually been falling out of Piltover's control.
"And the conflict between the two cities is intensifying. Since Singed is an alchemy genius, he will most definitely be valued by the Chem-barons, and they will not allow Piltover to interfere in their affairs."
He accentuated the words "Chem-Baron".
The laws of Piltover does not bind Zaun. The law and order here is at a fine balance. The loose alliances formed by the barons of each region maintain the fragile stability of Zaun.
Although Caitlyn is a little naive, she is not unreasonable.
She had heard her parents talk about the Chem-Baron's influence in Zaun, some even have partnerships with families in Piltover.
The most obvious example of this is the Hextech Crystal Forge of the Ferros family located in the Zaun Trench.
The uppercity and the undercity... When did it become like this?
Caitlyn clenched her fists, and said nothing.
Lilin saw what she was thinking, sighed silently, and patted her on the shoulder.
"It's no use to think so much now, if you want to make change, it's better to put your thoughts into action...
"There's not much time today, let's finish the business and return to Piltover, so that Madam Cassandra won't worry about your safety."
He took a step to go into the shop when Caitlyn grabbed the hem of his clothes, and called out to him, "Lilin..."
"What is it?" Lilin turned around and looked at her.
Caitlyn's sapphire eyes flickered.
"If... someone wanted to change the status quo in the Twin Cities, you would help her... er, I mean, this person?"
"Of course." Lilin smiled slightly, "That is also my goal."
