Chapter 76: It turned out to be Zuan's people
With the advent of the "League of Legends Preliminary List", the streets of Piltover can be seen everywhere with young people who are challenging and dueling, and this kind of street duel has almost become a street scene in Piltover, and as long as the dueling people do not interfere with others and do not damage official business, even the police will not care.

There is a duel going on in front of the three of Aix at this time, and it is a high-level duel, both sides are obviously on the list, so the competition should be for the ranking.
In the end, it was the teenager who ranked high on the League of Legends Reserve List who won, making people realize that this list is still very reliable. However, just after the duel, after everyone dispersed, a black-robed man did not leave, but slowly walked to the place where the two teenagers were dueling, stood next to a pool of blood, looked left and right, and after making sure that no one was paying attention, he slowly squatted down, and a test tube appeared in his hand, collecting the blood on the ground.
"It's supposed to be the people who attacked us." Looking at the black-robed man who was collecting blood, Aix said with great certainty. In the past few days, Aix seems to be allergic to people in black robes, and everyone in black robes will attract their attention, after all, they are also afraid of being attacked. The black-robed man hiding in the crowd attracted Aix's attention at first, and after seeing the man's strange behavior, Ax was 100% sure that he was in the same group as the black-robed man who attacked him.
"What are we going to do? Follow him, or leave it alone. Moreover, the time we agreed on is also coming soon, and if we don't pass now, we won't be able to catch up. Tina looked at the time and said reluctantly.
Ax glanced at the black-robed man who had already left, and if he didn't make up his mind, he wouldn't be able to keep up.
"Let's go separately, you go and meet Alice and them first, I'll follow the black-robed man to see, if I can't know which force they belong to, I'm really unwilling."
"Well, whatever you want, but you'd better be careful, what those people think are dangerous, you don't put yourself in it." Tina reminded her, and then walked towards the agreed place, but, after taking a few steps, she seemed to be uneasy, turned around and threw a watch over, and said, "Keep it on at all times, and contact me if you are in danger." ā
Catching the watch that Tina threw over, Ax didn't talk nonsense, put it directly on his wrist, and then followed with the mouse.
Along the way, the black-robed people are wandering around the streets of Piltover, and every time they encounter a duel, they gather around to watch, when someone is injured, they go to collect blood, however, he does not collect everyone's blood, it can be seen that the taste of the black-robed people is also very strong, only those who are strong and talented blood are collected, and for the blood of ordinary people, they don't even look at it.
"They seem to be collecting the blood of geniuses, but what do they want this blood for, can't they curse it?" After seeing the black-robed man collect the blood of a person again, the mouse asked suspiciously.
"How do I know, it is estimated that the black-robed man who collected blood doesn't know, now I just want to know which force they are, I hope it's not the plan I thought of."
"What's the plan?"
"It's hard to say now, let's wait until we are sure what kind of force they are."
Ax did not elaborate, but followed again, for it was getting late, the streets were sparsely populated, and duels were less common, so this time the black-robed man stopped wandering around and walked towards a clubhouse.
"The Progressive Hall? What is this place? Aix asked suspiciously, looking at the huge signboard.
"I don't know much about it, it seems to be a place of academic exchange, I heard that the great inventor Heimerdinger has been here." The rat said uncertainly, because for a person who can't even eat enough, where can he have time for any academic research.
"Let's go, go in and have a look." Aix beckoned to the rat and walked straight towards the progress clubhouse.
"Welcome, are you two members of the Association?" Just as Ax and Mouse were walking to the door of the hall, a welcoming lady came over, bowed to the two of them, and asked with a smile.
"Why, aren't you a member of the guild hall and won't let me in?" Aix asked with a smile.
"Of course not, but there are many places in the hall that are only accessible to members, and if you are not a member, then there will be restrictions on the places you can visit."
"So, how can you become a member of this association, you don't have to pay a membership fee?"
"Of course not, this hall is a progressive hall, so anyone who has published a paper that has made a significant contribution to science can automatically become a member of this hall, and the equipment inside can also be tried for free. I don't know your name, have you published any papers? ā
"Papers?" Ax was a little embarrassed to ask, for a teenager who hadn't even graduated from high school, what was a thesis, let alone in this land of rune.
Seeing Aix's embarrassed appearance, Miss Manners knew that Ax had not published any papers, after all, scientists are not cabbages, anyone is, not to mention scientists who have published papers, just look at Aix's age, so Miss Manners did not laugh, but continued: "If you have not published papers, you can also become a member by introducing other scientists to this hall." ā
"Introduce someone else?" Ax immediately turned his head to look at the mouse, if Ax remembered correctly, the mouse knew an old scientist, but unfortunately, when the mouse saw Ax looking over, his head immediately shook like a rattle.
It seems that this condition is no play, Aix can only hope for the Miss Manners, hoping that there are other conditions, but unfortunately, Miss Manners smiled apologetically this time, because there is no other way besides these two.
"Aix?" Just when Ax was in a hurry, a somewhat familiar voice came from behind Aix. Ax turned his head and saw that Barry and Jessica were walking over together, obviously not expecting Ax to be here, and asked with some surprise.
"It turned out to be you, you two are not enjoying the happiness in the big hotel, what are you doing here." Aix asked in surprise.
"We're not as idle as you, of course we're here to exchange and research." Jessica said proudly.
"So, you're all members here? Then can you take us in with you? ā
"Take you in? What are you doing in there? Barry asked, confused, because Ax didn't look like someone who would be interested in academic exchanges.
"Okay, you can take us in and talk about it!" After thinking about it, Aix felt that there was no need to hide it, so he planned to tell it out.
"Collect blood?" Hearing Ax's statement, Barry was also puzzled, but soon, he remembered the attack a few days ago, although those black-robed people did not get his blood, but the few people in Ionia who went out alone were broken life shields and shed a lot of blood, but because they did not suffer any fatal injuries, he didn't care much, he just thought that he was a battle maniac who challenged the master.
"What are they collecting blood for, is it a curse, but it is impossible on such a large scale, and besides, none of these people are worth such a price for any force."
"I also want to know the answer, so I'm here to go." Aix shrugged his shoulders and said, and as the few people talked, the four of them also walked into the hall.
This progressive hall is worthy of being a place for academic exchanges, and you can see people arguing with red faces and thick necks everywhere, but unfortunately, the black-robed man was not found at all along the way.
"Has the person you're talking about already gone?" Jessica followed Ax for most of the day, but she didn't even see the figure of the black-robed man, and she couldn't help but be a little impatient.
At this time, even Aix was a little puzzled, wondering if the black-robed man had left.
"Aix, I remember you said that the black-robed man was carrying a lot of blood samples, and even a lot of blood was collected on the ground?" Barry seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly confirmed to Aix.
"Yes! What's wrong? ā
"If I'm not mistaken, he should be dealing with the blood at this time, because after the blood leaves the human body, if it is not treated, it will quickly clot, not to mention that the blood is not extracted using a regular instrument, and may be accompanied by bacteria and soil and stones."
"Is there such a place here?"
"Come with me!" After Barry finished speaking, he walked first and took Ax and the others to a test area.
"There." Soon, the mouse found the black-robed man, but he had already taken off the black robe, put on a white coat, and was patiently waiting in front of an instrument.
"Is that him?" Barry asked, looking at the man standing in front of the centrifuge.
"What, do you know?" Seeing Barry's surprised look, Ax asked suspiciously.
"How can you not know, Blake from Noxus is actually a medical madman from Zaun, a real pervert." Barry clearly has a grudge against him, and even these few explanations are squeezed out of his teeth.
"That guy doesn't allow Zaun's people to enter at all because of the faction, so they can only come here in the name of Noxus, but this is just an open secret, giving Piltover a step down the ladder." Jessica added.
"Does he have a grudge against you?"
"All the people of Zaun have a grudge against Ionia, not to mention, he is from the laboratory of the alchemist Sinjid." Barry said after calming down a bit. "It's just that this guy is very strong, I once challenged him when I was in the arena, and it ended up being a tie and ended up in the top 10 with me."
