Chapter 3 Seraphine's Journey to Zaun

"It's obviously very clean here, Dad."

"Didn't you say that the streets of Zu'an are full of gangsters? Dad, it seems that Zu'an is not what you said."

By taking the Hex Elevator, Seraphine and Sa'an arrived at the trench zone of Zaan.

Looking at Zaun, who was a little dark in front of her eyes and seemed a little depressed due to the architecture and light, Seraphine did not dislike Zaun because of this. The situation was just the opposite. Although the Zaun people lived underground, although they lived in

A place with a harsh environment and poor resources, but...but it is full of vitality!

Seraphine could see, hear, and even see groups of green lights full of life.

These harsh survival factors did not make the Zaun people bow their heads and surrender, but just like their voices, the Zaan people were constantly fighting against the harsh conditions brought about by the environment.

"Seraphine, dad didn't lie. The old Zaun... was not what you see now."

There was also disbelief in Sa'an's eyes. He had not been to Zuan for more than twenty years, and Zuan... was indeed not the Zuan in his memory.

Accompanied by Seraphine, the two planned to take a stroll in this lively ditch area.

"Dad, I want to see the place where you once lived."

After walking through many places in the Zaun Trench, some places that Sa'an once thought were dangerous, Sa'an became convinced.

Zu An has really changed.

Those once dangerous restricted areas have now become extremely safe.

The alchemy barons disappeared, the restricted areas that were divided were opened, and there were no longer small communities. Now, Zaun is no longer fragmented, but has become a unified family.

The streets have also become cleaner, and there are no more little gangsters running around rummaging through trash cans. Moreover, in the ditches, you can see law enforcement officers in white clothes every one kilometer.

On patrol.

"To the place where I once lived?"

"Yes, you always tell me how dangerous Zaun is and how chaotic the place you used to live is, but Dad, maybe you don't even know..."

Seraphine raised her head, her pink hair slightly curled, covering half of her face, her big eyes filled with excitement, she said: "Every time you talk about Zaun, you make a sound

, that is the voice of you recalling and cherishing the past, dad, in fact, you do not resist Zu An, you always remember Zu An."

"You are different from mom. When mom mentions Zu An, she resists. But you... dad, you like Zu An."

"Do I like Zu An?" After hearing what his daughter said, Za An paused.

"Impossible...impossible, Xiao Sa, Dad doesn't have any fond memories of the old Zu'an. You must have heard wrong." Sa'an shook his head and denied Seraphine's words.

Once upon a time, Zaun was really in chaos.

You must know that Sa'an grew up in an orphanage. At a very young age, Sa'an was exposed to the street laws of Zaan. If the children in the trenches of Zaan want to survive, they will definitely be exposed to crime.

In terms of business, Sa'an has been doing a lot of work for the local gangs. Sa'an has been doing a lot of things like looking out, collecting rent, and passing on small news.

Sa'an likes this place?

How can this be!

He was thrown out of the orphanage when he was just ten years old, and then lived in a community surrounded by iron sheets in the ditch. Although the community was not particularly poor, it was definitely not rich either. Like

It wouldn't be possible to starve to death in other places in Zaun, but it would be difficult to eat enough.

Not to mention that the people in the community are being exploited by the Alchemist Baron all the time.

Therefore, Sa'an's childhood was full of darkness. He was either being beaten or beating people, stealing or robbing.

The only happiness is probably the days of singing and dancing with people in the community, listening to the original mother-in-law beating the glue bucket with a stick, and listening to the beautiful music played by Uncle Ke using two pieces of iron.

It is precisely because of this that after having a wife, Saan decided to go to Piltover, using the music he learned in the community as a stepping stone to knock on Piltover's door.

He did not want his children to live in Zaun.

He... wants to give Seraphine a good childhood and let Seraphine live in a safe and peaceful place.

But Sa'an never expected that Seraphine has had the ability to listen to other people's hearts and thoughts since she was born, and as Seraphine grows older, this ability continues to grow stronger.

Just like now, even though she is wearing the special machine made by Sa'an for Seraphine, Seraphine still hears all kinds of sounds.

This means... Seraphine's abilities are still getting stronger.

She looked at her father and shook her head, "Dad, the soul deep in your heart will not lie. You just like this place, and your heart is talking to me. Dad, it keeps telling me,

You want to go back and take a look."

"Let's go, Dad."

Seraphine used her little finger to fiddle with a tuft of hair beside her ear, and said with a bright smile: "Let's go see your former home."

"..."

"good."

Sa'an wasn't saying no.

————————

More than thirty minutes later, riding Zaan's transportation vehicle, the orbital Hexcar, Zaan and Seraphine arrived at a place.

This is a magical invention. A Hex rail car can accommodate twenty passengers, and on this car, there are fixed drop-off points. This track takes up little space and is not complicated in design.

The car brought the Zaun people closer.

After all...not every Zaunite knows how to use a bicycle, and not to mention the Hex Flyboard. That thing is not for sale yet, and only Zaun's law enforcers will have one.

"Here...the changes are so big."

Sa'an looked ahead and said with emotion.

Seraphine next to her hugged Sa'an's arm and winked.

"Are you feeling sad now?"

Seraphine asked her father.

"It's a bit, Seraphine, this place is different from the place in my memory." Saan led Seraphine to the entrance of the community.

This is a fenced-in area with the name of the community next to it.

The name is the same as what Sa'an remembered - Thirty-Two Flower Street Community.

It's just...it seems to be getting bigger.

Moreover, it has become more cozy.

Saan looked at those tall buildings, those... big houses built with gray and white brick walls. Although they were not comparable to the tall buildings in Piltover, they were much better than the iron houses in his memory.

"stop!"

Just when Sa'an wanted to take Seraphine in, a voice rang.

Next to the balcony on the second floor of the nearest building in Huajie Community, the owner of the voice was standing there.

She looked up and down at Zaan and Seraphine, then touched her chin and said, "You two look very unfamiliar to each other, and your clothes... Huh, aren't you from Zaan?"

Seraphine raised her head, and the next moment she was very surprised.

Seraphine has pink-purple curly hair with a gradient color, like... dim starlight.

But looking at the person looking at her and Sa'an on the second floor, Seraphine realized that if her hair color was gradient starlight, then the hair of the guy in front of her was like brilliant fireworks.

"Speak, are you from Piltover?"

"We came down from Pi City, but we are from Zaan. My name is Zaan, which was the name of my residence here."

"Uh... is it true?" The man pulled the guardrail with both hands, propped himself up and looked down, with a questioning look on his face: "I don't believe it, I grew up here, but

I've never seen you at all."

"That was more than twenty years ago."

"Um...I'm only sixteen years old now. I seem to...believe what you said."

Sa'an then said gently: "I also know a man named Keya. He can play nice music with iron pieces. Is he still living here?"

"Keya?"

The girl with hair like fireworks clapped her hands, "Do you know Grandpa Keya? Oh, then I believe you."

"Wait for me and I'll bring you in!"

Sa'an looked at Seraphine and saw his daughter blinking at him.

"Xiao Sa? What's wrong?"

Seraphine pursed her lips and shook her head.

Should she tell her father that she lost to him because of her hair color?

You know, Seraphine has always been proud of her pink curly hair.

The pink-purple curly hair has a gradient of color and sinks, like falling starlight. This is something Seraphine is very proud of.

But faced with bright fireworks-like hair.

Seraphine...
