Battle of the Twin Cities: The Ninth Councilor

Chapter 2 Welcome to Zaun
The system was loaded quickly, and Marcos found that this thing, just like those written in those novels, directly appeared in his mind, and it was a mall-like thing.

Before I had time to check it, I only heard Grayson say in front: "Okay, we're here."

As soon as Marcus looked up, he realized that he had followed Grayson to a neon-flashing building.

Bottom City, Fulgan's Tavern.

Here, most of the powerful and powerful Dicheng people gathered.

The tavern guests are mixed, the unique location and the unique exaggerated style compared with the nearby buildings make this tavern have the nature of a landmark building.

In Dicheng, if you want to inquire about news, coming here is definitely the best choice.

And the owner here, Van der Warwick, is the target of Grayson's trip.

Although Marcos knew that the two of them came here for nothing.

Because Vander is now discussing countermeasures with his old buddy at Benso's grocery store because of the disaster caused by the four children.

What puzzled him was that in the anime, Grayson took Marcus directly to Benso's grocery store and had a conversation with Van der.

Now why did she bring herself to Fulgan's Tavern again?
tom!
Grayson pushed open the door of the tavern roughly as usual, and all the guests who were having fun inside were startled by her behavior, and turned their heads to look at her in unison.

In a place like Dicheng, there is no such useless thing as etiquette. The more arrogant and arrogant you are, the stronger your strength is, and the more you will be recognized by the people of Dicheng.

Ok……

Outsiders except...

To be precise, Zaun is a place where skins are treated, as long as you are from Piltover, don't expect them to give you a good look.

"The Piltover law enforcement officer?"

A burly woman in her thirties with a handmade cigarette asked in a hostile tone: "What are you lackeys of the upper city nobles doing in our lowly bottom city tavern?
Aren't you afraid that the wine we low people drink will corrode your noble body? "

Her words seemed to be a funny joke, which caused the other guests to burst into laughter, and the offense and hostility were beyond words.

"Sevica, put away your silly tricks, I'm here to find Van der." Facing the ridicule of these people, Grayson remained unmoved and responded calmly.

Marcus stood behind her, watching from an outsider's perspective the whole time.

He already knew why Grayson had come straight here.

Although it is not clearly stated in the anime, Fulgan's Tavern is Vander's territory, and there is nothing special at ordinary times, so he will not leave here for half a step.

Grayson didn't know the relationship between those children and Vander at this time, let alone Vander had gone to Benso's grocery store. If he wanted to find Vander, he would definitely come here first.

Knowing that he would be in vain this time, Marcus didn't remind Grayson, and turned his head to look at the street outside.

There are three floors in Zaun. The first floor is the closest to Piltover. It is the place with the best environment in Zaun. The pollution is far from affecting people's lives.

There is also a buffer zone between the two cities of Picheng and Zaun, which is probably a civilian area.

Starting from the middle layer, it gradually approaches the core area of ​​Zaun. The environment here is harsh, and it is always polluted by chemicals and alchemy waste.

The harsh environment has made the people of Zaun miserable, but Piltover, known as the city of progress, has advanced technology and turned a blind eye to the situation here.

This attitude of indifference is also one of the main factors causing the confrontation between the two cities.

And the lowest floor where Fulgan's Tavern is located is also the place with the worst environment.

There are chemical factories all over the place, and the random discharge of waste erodes every inch of land here, and even the ditch on the roadside is full of highly toxic liquids.

The air is always filled with a pungent and unpleasant smell. Even though Marcus is wearing a mask that can purify the air, he still feels that his throat is scorched by fire, and the pain is unbearable.

Raising his head, Marcus saw something that seemed to be sandwiched between the wires that spanned the sidewalk not far away. It looked dusty and dirty, and he could hardly tell what it was.

"Huh? That's..."

Marcus was taken aback for a moment, and looked to the other side. It was a huge shop signboard. On the right side of the signboard, someone painted a few strokes of graffiti with red paint.

However, it was obviously an unfinished product. In the center of the graffiti, someone had rubbed it with a large smear, and traces of paint dripping could still be seen on the edge of the platform under the signboard.

"That's right, it's here!"

Marcus remained calm, stepped back a few steps and looked up at the second floor of Forgan's Tavern, but found nothing unusual.

However, after observing the surrounding environment, he could determine the ultimate goal of Grayson's trip. The four culprits who caused the explosion in the college area were in the residential area behind Fulgan's Tavern!

"Looking for Vander? That's none of my business."

Knowing that it was impossible for Grayson to do something out of the ordinary because of her little provocation, Sevica lost most of her interest, waved her hand, and ignored her.

If the former owner Marcos was here, facing this situation, he might go up and shout twice.

And now Marcos...

He didn't do anything, just lingered behind Grayson obediently, keeping silent.

In these small details, inaction is often very effective, and can subtly change the way others see themselves.

At this time, the atmosphere in the tavern gradually became weird, and it seemed that the sword was on edge again.

A thin man in the corner looked around, his dodging eyes were full of timidity and timidity, even though he was very resistant to contact with the law enforcement officers in Piltover, he still had the courage to whisper: "Fandre He's not in Fulgan's Tavern right now, he just... went out."

After finishing speaking, like a cowardly mouse, he sneaked behind several burly men next to him, for fear that he would be seen by the two law enforcement officers at the door.

Although he moved very carefully and quickly, he was noticed by Marcus behind Grayson.

Seeing that guy's cautious appearance, Marcos was overjoyed.

The guy's name is Huck, and he is an illegal businessman in the bottom city. He is timid and greedy for money.

Not long ago, Vander had just helped him get out of two people who wanted to renege on the debt, and helped him get back half of the withheld payment, so he dared to speak a few words for Vander at this time.

This is already the limit of what he can do.

Unlike Marcus, Grayson didn't give Huck a second look, and a small character like Huck in Bottom City didn't have any say.

Since Van der is not there, the person who speaks the most in Fulgen's Tavern is Sevica who choked up just now.

Grayson looked at the strong woman and asked in a deep voice, "Where is he?"

The words were full of the majesty she had cultivated as a law enforcement officer in Piltover for a long time, with a hint of unquestionable taste.

Sevica felt displeased subconsciously, and turned her gaze to find that Grayson had pressed a hand on his waist at some point.
