Chapter 799 Alchemy Baron Meeting
"Crack! Boom!"
The rusty, mottled gate with black blood stains slowly rose up.
"Sir, please!"
The body grew and deformed under the nourishment of alchemical potions. The muscular monster, who was over two and a half meters tall, performed the Piltover etiquette awkwardly.
With his face covered with stitches, he gave an ugly smile to the figure about 1.8 meters tall, who was wrapped in a black robe not far in front of him.
"..."
“Tick, tick, tick!”
Without paying any attention to the alchemical guard in front of him, the figure in the black robe stepped past him and walked towards the gate.
"Crack! Boom!"
The door slowly fell.
“Gurgle~Gurgle~!”
"Hoo~!"
The green alchemical potion flowed rapidly in the transparent tube and poured into the mask on the guard's mouth.
An expression of extreme enjoyment appeared on his face, his hands twitched unnaturally, and his eyes, which had turned green due to the alchemical potion, revealed a crazy and bloodthirsty look.
Only when the unnatural twitching stopped did the guard walk back to his position with heavy steps and wait quietly.
"Why bother with him? Are you uncomfortable?"
"Oh! Shut up, Sevika!"
...
After passing through a long dim corridor, a circular hall, or a more appropriate space, appears at the end.
“Tick, tick, tick!”
The ground was made of barbed wire, and every step made a chaotic sound. Through the gaps in the mesh, there were intricate pipes underneath.
In the circular space, only the dim light is sprinkled from the dome in the center, which, combined with the floating haze around, reminds people here all the time that this is the foundation of Zuan.
“Dang~dang~dang~!”
Thirteen dim lights shone down from the surrounding platforms.
Under every light, there is a figure living in it.
Everyone's eyes were hidden in the shadows, and they looked down at the black-robed figure in the center of the platform below, like a judge examining a criminal awaiting trial.
"Welcome to Zaun, respected Senator!"
On the high platform opposite the entrance, a figure made of metal and flesh spoke.
The black-robed figure slowly took off his hood, and Jace, wearing a breathing mask, raised his head slightly and looked directly at the other person.
'Alchemist Baron Volvetin Lanner, female, aged between 40 and 45, mainly researches the development of alchemy robot technology. Due to an explosion in her early years, most of her body has been replaced by metal. She must receive regular blood and oil transfusions to ensure normal body functions.'
Looking at the figure on the platform, the information given by Abesa popped into Jace's mind.
"Humph! What's there to welcome? They sent a kid who hasn't even grown all his hair yet. I say, coming here today is just a waste of time!"
'Alchemist Baron Winchester Spenderlaw, male, 54 years old, was once a low-level assistant, but he murdered his boss and took over his territory. He looks like an old man with a white beard, but he regards murder and destruction as his guiding principles, and his subordinates are basically brave and ruthless outlaws.'
"Haha~! You can't say that, Spenderlaw. This congressman was appointed by the Noxian general. You can't judge his ability based on his age. If he doesn't have any outstanding qualities, how could he have caught the attention of that great man?"
On Jace's left, an alchemist baron with a strange hairstyle that had never been seen before, with the top of his head shaved and the hair tied back, spoke. His words seemed to be persuasive, but they contained undisguised arrogance.
'Takeda Saito, about 40 years old, claimed to be from a distant Ionian warrior family, but was exiled for some reason and ended up here. He made no secret of his contempt for the other alchemy barons.
Ambitiously, he recruited a large number of Zaun researchers, and the core group consisted of his fellow exiled people.
"Just say what you want to say, don't be so secretive and disgusting. Are you pretending to be a stranger who came to Zuan to beg for food?"
"Ha! The inferiors are the inferiors!"
"You tm..."
"enough!!"
Just as a quarrel was about to break out, Wolvertin, who was standing directly opposite Jace, shouted.
"Today we are here to discuss cooperation with that lord, not to quarrel with you. If you are not convinced, you can fight among yourselves after the meeting and do not affect the other barons who want to cooperate!!"
"..."
Feeling the watching eyes from the people around him, Spendlow gradually calmed down.
"Haha~! Sorry, Mr. Congressman, Volvedin, and everyone else, this old dog was too annoying and lost his composure for a moment."
"Hmph! You stinky outsider, sooner or later I'll feed you to the rats in the ditch!!"
As soon as Takeda Saito finished speaking, Spendlow immediately choked back, but at the same time, both of them became quiet and stopped arguing.
Seeing this, Wolvetin, who was temporarily in the main seat, bowed slightly.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Congressman, I made you laugh."
"It doesn't matter."
Jace took a step forward and looked around at the thirteen figures on the platform.
These are not all the chem-barons in Zaun, but each of them is the best in the industry. Before the emergence of Hefeng Industries, they were the undisputed overlords of Zaun.
"Mr. Congressman, we all come here because we admire Lord Abesa and are willing to serve under him. I wonder what important matter you have summoned us to tell us?"
"Yes, Mr. Congressman, ever since Lady Ambersa came to Piltover, we have seen everything she has done, and we all want to serve under her!"
"Mr. Congressman, just tell me. No matter how difficult the task is, I, Spenderlaw, am willing to take it on!"
...
Facing Jace's gaze, the alchemy barons expressed their loyalty earnestly, as if they were ready to sacrifice their lives at the next moment.
But Jace knew very well that these alchemy barons respected not him, nor Abesa who stood behind him, but the interests represented by the clanking Golden Hex who could do almost everything.
These powerful alchemy barons in Zaun have long coveted larger and more extensive territories, and Piltover is the sweetest piece of cake for them.
Because of this, even though they were separated by the Upper and Lower Cities, they were willing to submit to Ambesa's army.
"Ahem~!"
A faint cough was heard, and the noisy scene suddenly became quiet.
Jace looked at the people on the podium and spoke in a calm voice.
"It's simple. Lord Ambersa told you to...attack her!"
...
"Crack! Boom!"
“Tick, tick, tick!”
"Sir, please walk slowly."
Still ignoring the guard, the black-robed figure stepped past him, got on the carriage and left through the underground passage.
