Cyberzaun, Machinarium

Damn it, please don't be in trouble. Enoch never thought Jinx's sudden disappearance was such a big problem.

No, that's not right. Jinx won't stay where she is when she's attacked. Stay calm and think about where she'll go.

She should carry her bang bang gun and fish bones with her, so if she wants to join the city gate to fight the rock beast...she has to look for it at a nearby commanding height.

Chapter 23 This is a personal grudge

Jinx stuffed her hair into a sun hat and put on a dress with great effort, just like an ordinary Demacia lady.

She had originally planned to wait for Enoch to come back in the hotel, but she ran out of paint while painting the bomb.

So she could only change her clothes and slip out. As for not leaving a note for Enoch, well, Jinx swears that she didn't do it on purpose, absolutely not.

I was walking around the street, but before I could find anything I was interested in, I saw a big rock smash into a building in the distance.

It was so cool. Jinx quickly ran towards the noise, ignoring the Demacia cans that told her to dodge.

I'm Jinx, how could I not join in the fun? Going around a guard, Jinx pulled out her Boom Boom gun. Since she was here, why not make a grand opening?

Jinx, who was heading towards the sentry tower, saw the blue light hitting the monster's face. Jinx was very familiar with it. It was Enoch's plasma cannon, which was very effective against organic and mechanical creatures.

However, seeing that the opponent was still alive and kicking after taking two shots, and even shouting excitedly, Jinx stopped and thought, maybe her Boom-Boom gun could only tickle this guy's outer armor?

Then I looked and saw that the tin can over there was driving the big monster towards the city wall. Maybe I should help that big guy.

Climbing up to the platform, Jinx switched to the fishbone launcher and fired a small missile without thinking. Enoch said it looked like a high-explosive warhead, or armor-piercing? Who cares? Let's fire it first and see things clearly when we fire.

The missile hit the rock beast's face hard, and it seemed to have successfully injured its eyes. At least the sound it made seemed to be in pain, which also completely attracted the rock beast's attention.

There was only a brief pause before the mad beast swung its arms recklessly towards the watchtower. The boulders it threw out were like shotgun shells, covering a corner of the city wall, turning it into a veritable death zone.

"Oh, this is not good," Jinx looked at the flying boulder, turned and jumped out of the window.

The shield guards at the foot of the rock beast were struggling to resist the monster's advance. The captain was almost mad with anger. He had just controlled the rock beast, but who knew that all his efforts would be in vain after a missile came down.

He had to lead his men to drive the rock beast to the side again. He didn't care about the collapsed sentry tower. The captain threw the halberd in his hand fiercely at the intact eye on the other side.

The battle-hardened warrior performed perfectly as always. The monster in front of him had lost its sight and began to get scared. It wanted to run away.

"Give me a weapon!" the captain shouted behind him. The rock beast was now in a difficult situation and could only roar continuously to try to scare away the surrounding warriors.

I can take advantage of the roar to put the weapon into the opponent's mouth and smash its brain. I will definitely do it.

"Here's the Hammer of Oren, take it." Poppy threw the hammer on her back to the warrior. She hoped that the captain in front of her could wield the hammer and become a true hero of Demacia.

The shield guard swung his warhammer and smashed it hard on the rock beast's chin. If this attack is successful, the monster will lose the ability to resist. I believe that his comrades will help him complete the final blow.

However, the hammer refused him. There was no change. In fact, the power of the hammer was not as strong as other weapons.

The rock beast knocked the shield guard away, and together with Sislia who rushed over to support him, a terrible loophole appeared in the encirclement of the rock beast.

The Fearless Vanguard quickly filled the position, but the mad and dying beast was much more dangerous. Its flailing arms destroyed the nearby wall, which put great pressure on the subsequent cooperation.

Poppy watched all this with disappointment. She had failed. For once, the hero she thought of was not chosen by Warhammer, and even because of this weapon, it caused a bigger problem.

Picking up the flying hammer again, Poppy realized that he had to help these warriors defeat this monster... not only to make up for his own mistakes, but also to prevent the beast from hurting more people.

"Come on," Poppy clenched the hammer tightly, "I won't fall, I still have to find the real hero."

........................

Where am I, oh yes, in the middle of a catastrophe

Jinx slowly moved her body to check the injuries on her limbs. She was covered by rubble and nothing could be seen except the sunlight in the gaps.

My hands, no problem, I can feel it. Next is my feet, the situation is not good, I feel a pain coming from my left leg

I don't know if it was because of the injury I got when I jumped out, or because of the rubble. I hope I can get moving soon.

Jinx was inevitably a little flustered. Jinx ran out without listening to Enoch, which might make him angry, but who could blame him for not taking care of himself in the past two days?

Jinx is injured, Enoch should feel sorry for himself, but Jinx doesn't need pity.

Jinx is injured, and Enoch may not take her with him in the top lane. Jinx will have to stay alone until she can run and jump again. Jinx will be left behind again.

Jinx got hurt because of my stupidity, I deserved it, and it was Jinx's fault if I was left behind.

"Little Finger, where are you?" Jinx kept picking at the gravel in front of her. She screwed up again, just like Boom. "I'll listen to you from now on. Come out now, don't leave me alone."

"I will be obedient, I won't mess up again, I will take care of everything, I promise, come out little finger"

Just as Jinx was gradually running out of breath, a glowing red heat knife pierced into the stone slab in front of Jinx.

Then, seeing Enoch peeling off the split stone slab, Jinx stared blankly for a while, and then immediately realized that she couldn't do this. Jinx had to become a powerful guy. This was what Enoch needed.

"Next time, no matter where you go, tell me, okay?" Enoch moved the last few pieces of rubble and carried the girl out.

"I know, I know. Who could have thought it would turn out like this? I just... wasn't well prepared. It won't happen again next time. I'll show you how I can blow the whole place away."

Jinx pretended to be relaxed and leaned in Enoch's arms, watching him carefully pull up his skirt and check the wound on his leg.

She didn't dare to look or listen now. She was afraid that she couldn't continue to follow Enoch.

"It's just a little bruised and you got hit. You're lucky. Please don't be so reckless next time. I don't want to lose you." After simply treating the wound, Enoch picked up Jinx by the waist and walked towards the undestroyed house. He wanted to beat the damn rock beast into a sieve, but first he had to settle Jinx.

How long has it been? Enoch couldn't remember the last time he saw Jinx so weak.

Lying in Enoch's arms, Jinx was quiet for once. "Sorry, Littlefinger, I will always follow you from now on."

"It's okay, everything is fine." Enoch tightened his arms and said, "I'll take care of the rest."

Putting Jinx on the bed, Enoch picked up the fish bone and said, "Wait for two minutes. I'll go teach that big guy a lesson."

"Count me in"

Enoch picked up the rocket launcher and said, "Count your share in. I'm going to give him a hard time."

Chapter 24: The Mage's Traces

Carrying fish bones, he walked onto the rubble-covered rooftop and quietly adjusted the rocket launcher.

I made some small suggestions to Jinx when she was designing this thing. Enoch has always believed that when there is a universal weapon launch platform, it is a waste not to prepare more replacement warheads.

Jinx rejected some of the bullets, such as the multi-bullet scattershot bullets, which can attach to the target and have a delay function.

The reasons are similar. Their explosions are not clean enough. In places like Zaun or Piltover, high-explosive shells can solve most problems. The remaining sturdy ones can be left to armor-piercing shells.

But even if she doesn't like them, Jinx still takes them with her, carrying them as gifts.

Enoch unfolded the fish bone barrel and installed it on the plasma cannon on his left wrist. To deal with the rock beast, Enoch needed a stronger armor-piercing ability, and then leave enough delay for it to explode inside the monster.

The device on his left wrist no longer compressed the energy, but instead pushed the energy to the entire barrel to form a ring-shaped electromagnetic cannon. Then, the delayed warhead was installed on the attack part of the armor-piercing projectile. After a simple adjustment, Enoch aimed the muzzle at the rock beast.

Because of this guy, Enoch's already tight schedule will have to wait a few more days.

Because of this guy, all the supplies at Enoch Hotel were lost, and we have to prepare again.

Because of this guy, Jinx was injured and looked very scared.

I need to think about how to comfort Jinx. This girl always acts very tough in front of others. Sometimes when she makes a mistake, she doesn't think about how to make up for it, but instead blows up the mistake she made along with the problem.

Other alchemy barons have bothered him about this.

"This is a personal grudge." As the barrel was charged, a blue light instantly shone and hit the rock beast's left shoulder fiercely.

The warhead accelerated by the electromagnetic circle easily broke through the armor on the rock beast. The shell successfully completed its mission and sent the fragmentary warhead into the body of the rock beast.

After a short delay, a huge explosion accompanied by bright red mist emerged from the monster's left shoulder. The left arm could no longer swing to throw stones... It was strangely dragged behind it, at an angle that was absolutely not right.

The rock beast's roar was loud and painful. Hearing this, Enoch nodded with satisfaction. Well done. The aim was a little off, but for a makeshift weapon, it performed very well.

Seeing the overheated barrel, Enoch put away his weapon, thinking the monster was lucky, and he had to go take care of Jinx.

It is doomed to die. It will be the same with or without a shield guard. Or, compared with losing blood, can the Fearless Vanguard help it feel more comfortable?

"I heard the sound. It seems you helped me vent my anger." Jinx hugged her intact leg and huddled tightly in the corner beside the bed.

"I broke one of its hands, I think it must be very angry." Enoch shrugged, sat on the bed, and began to help Jinx apply cold compresses and treat some abrasions.

They were both surprisingly quiet, until they cleaned some minor wounds, Jinx showed some reaction.

"It's my fault this time," Enoch said. He didn't want Jinx to bear too much, especially after being injured. Jinx was obviously emotionally unstable. "I should be with you. I won't let you get hurt again. Like I told you before, we should protect each other."

Jinx leaned against Enoch, resting her chin on his shoulder, and hummed inaudibly.

"We protect each other, that's a deal."

........................

Poppy had never worked with the Shield Guards of the Vanguard before, but she worked well with them.

When Poppy hit the rock beast, he didn't need to think about his back, Sislia covered him well. When the shield guards approached, he could easily block the rock beast's attack.

Like a telepathic dance, they understand each other and fight against the enemy together.

Poppy swung his hammer faster and faster, like a sharp knife, driving the entire team forward.

The warhammer emitted a faint golden light, covering the people around. Everyone felt encouraged and left their hesitation far behind.

Just as Poppy smashed the rock beast's legs and completely stopped its movement, a flash of blue light flashed by, and as the monster screamed in pain, blood splattered everywhere, staining the surroundings in a mess.

"Opportunity" Sislia rushed towards the wound that had just burst open. This was the last resistance of the trapped beast.

Poppy followed closely behind, watching Sislia insert the spear into the chest through the wound, and suddenly jumped up, with the huge kinetic energy brought by the rotation of the war hammer, and hit the tail end of the spear hard, smashing it deep into the body.

"You cooperated well with us." Sislia kicked the fallen body of the rock beast. "Are you interested in joining the Fearless Vanguard? I will recommend you to the swordsman."

Poppy sat aside, maintaining the hammer, but felt a little depressed. "Not yet, I have to find a qualified hero for it."

Thinking of the battle with the Yodels just now, Sislia hesitated for a moment and asked

"Excuse me, there are not many people as brave and fearless as you. Why don't you keep it for yourself and write your own legend?"

"Because Oren told me to find the right person. I don't think I'm doing well enough." Bobby refused. She thought of her former comrade who always inspired others and was the goal and direction for everyone to move forward.

Poppy has a hunch that maybe he can find the real hero next time

………………

The towns that suffered from the disaster were being repaired in an orderly manner, and the people also climbed out of the cellars and cleaned up the ruins.

Enoch carried Jinx out of the medical station. Fortunately, she was not seriously injured, otherwise Enoch would have to consider giving up the next action.

But he still needed to find a car, and he had to keep an eye on Jinx to prevent her from getting too excited and hurting herself again.

"Was it your weapon that crushed the rock beast?" Sislia was carrying several wounded soldiers for treatment when she ran into Enoch. "That thing is good. I heard from Bobby that you are a foreign businessman?"

Enoch nodded. This was exactly why he brought people to Demacia.

"Here, take it." Sislia pulled out a letter from her armor and handed it to Enoch. "This is my letter of recommendation. After you arrive in Xiongdu, if you can meet the leader, you can give this letter to her. I recommend your weapon to her."

"Thank you very much," Enoch was very surprised. He was still worrying about how to contact the nobles to attend the banquet, but he didn't expect to encounter an unexpected surprise on the way.

"Good luck, merchant." She waved her hand and walked towards the station. There were other people who needed help. She had to do more work before the Fearless Vanguard returned.

"By the way, I want to know, are there many monsters like this in Demacia?" Enoch looked at the rock beast. He didn't know how other places dealt with this kind of monster.

"No, not many, and generally not very strong. Normally, a well-trained knight can hold off the monster and wait for an opportunity to kill it. The trouble at hand is strengthened by evil magic."

Enoch was very interested. "You mean there is a wizard here?"

"It's an exiled wizard. I heard he ran away to the mountains. You are traveling with your female companion, so be careful of them."

"Yes," Enoch nodded, "I'll keep an eye on them."

Chapter 25 How can you go fishing empty-handed?

The road at the foot of the mountain was much harder than expected, especially for Enoch, a complete novice as a coachman.

Heavy ruts often appeared on the ground for unknown reasons. It looked like a road that many people had walked on, so Enoch had to stop the car from time to time, take out the food, drinks and fodder from the car, and then push the car out with great effort.

Honestly, this is too tiring, especially since Enoch has prepared a set of Demacia-style squire armor for himself.
