Chapter 1 The incarnation of the wind, waiting for your dispatch

"Oh, are you still in the mood to read a novel?"

"Are you two brothers and sisters not planning to pay my rent for several months in arrears?"

The fat landlord shook the long string of jingling keys around his waist and broke into the door of Levi's house - if this dilapidated rental house of less than 5 square meters could be called a home.

Levi had to put away the old books and tilted pen on his knees, retract his legs on the bed, and leave a place for the landlord to stay.

By the way, he also reached out and carefully protected the little blue bird lying on his shoulder.

"Huh?" Looking at the cute blue bird with strange eyes, the fat landlord frowned: "Levi, why do you still have a bird? Didn't I tell you that pets are not allowed in the apartment!"

"Sorry, Mr. Bill..."

"Forget it, I won't pursue this trivial matter anymore. Tell me, when do you plan to make up for the rent you owe me?"

"Mr. Bill, I'm sorry, I..."

"I have used up all my money to pay for my sister's medical treatment~" Mr. Bill interrupted him impatiently: "Recently, I was blackmailed by your fellow Zu'an people. I was blackmailed by the law enforcement officers. I accidentally damaged the factory.

The boss wants you to pay for the things in there ~ bala bala..."

"Oh my God, Janna is on top——"

"Why are you Zaun people so dishonorable? You can deceive people without blinking an eye!"

Li Wei was speechless.

Liar, he hoped those words were all lies.

But according to the memories he inherited from this body, the bizarre stories in the eyes of Mr. Bill, an authentic "Old Piltover", have actually been the daily life of Zaun's apprentices.

He had no choice but to spread his hands: "But I really have no money now, Mr. Bill."

"If you don't have money, write a letter back to Zu'an and ask your parents for it!"

"My parents are long gone."

"Where are the grandparents?"

"Not many people in Zaun have grandparents. They don't live that long."

"What about relatives? You should have relatives, right?"

"There was an uncle who wanted to sell my sister and me into a brothel, but I killed him."

"I sold his body to an alchemy shop to have enough money to work as an apprentice in Piltover."

Mr. Bill: "..."

"You Zaun people... are really, really barbaric... Huh, let me show you kindness... I'll just give you one day at the end!"

He took two steps back angrily, from the bed to the door:

"Levi, I will bring the law enforcement officer directly here tomorrow afternoon. If you still can't make up for the rent arrears, then just wait to be enforced by the law enforcement officer!"

"At that time, you will no longer be qualified to stay in Piltover as an apprentice. You will have to pack up and go back to your hometown in Zaun. Do you understand?"

These words made Levi feel a little dizzy.

The original owner's hometown of Zaun and Piltover, where he is currently located, are two city-states separated by only a river.

But being close doesn't mean the situation is similar.

The situation between Zaun and Piltover is probably like Mexico and the United States. A river separates the two cities, and also separates hell and heaven.

Levi was lucky, he was able to bring his sister to Piltover alive. He didn't sell his butt or kidney, he came here with his beard and tail intact.

But he came as an apprentice:

Apprentices are roughly equivalent to the foreign trainees Japan recruits from Vietnam and other places, that is, cheap foreign workers imported legally.

However, the life of the Zaun people in Piltover is a hundred times harder than that of Japanese trainees in reality.

But even so, no Zaun apprentice guild wants to leave Piltover and return to their hometown in Zaun.

Because no matter how bad life in Piltover is, it is much better than a city like Zaun, a city of sin where everyone in Gotham would sympathize and cry when they see it, and even survival depends on luck.

But now, Levi is about to be enforced by a law enforcement officer due to rent arrears by his landlord——

An apprentice who commits such a crime of "dishonesty" in Piltover will be immediately revoked as an apprentice by the law enforcement officer and sent back to Zaun.

Of course Levi doesn't want to go back.

He is still too weak and looks very valuable, so it would be dangerous to return to Zaun.

"Mr. Bill, one day is really too tight. Could you please give me a little more grace? I will try my best to find ways to get money."

"And you also know that my sister is very talented. She is currently studying at the University of Piltover, studying the popular Hex mechanical engineering major. After she graduates..."

"That's enough!" Mr. Bill interrupted impatiently: "I know your sister was lucky enough to be admitted to Piltover University last year."

"But how many years will it take for her to officially graduate? Do you want to live and eat here for free and wait three or four years before paying rent?"

"Not to mention..."

"Piltover University is not a place where cats and dogs can just hang out. A Zaun...heh, who knows if she can graduate successfully!"

Mr. Bill cursed sourly, and his attitude became even worse:

"Anyway, this day is the deadline!"

"Either you make up for the rent arrears, or you pack up your bed and get out with your sister!"

With that said, without waiting for Li Wei to answer, he slammed the door and left with a curse.

Levi wanted to say something else, but he could only hear the sound of footsteps in the corridor and the jingling of keys. Obviously, Mr. Bill had already opened the door of the next tenant.

Then, not long after, through the thin wall with almost no sound insulation effect, Levi heard Mr. Bill's angry howl again:

"Oh my god, Janna! Why are you Zaunians so dishonorable? You can deceive people without blinking an eye!"

"Haha." Levi couldn't help laughing.

But he didn't say much. He just silently took back the old book, the notebook and the tilted pen, and wrote something seriously while reading.

The landlord thought Levi was reading a novel just now, but he was not.

Because the title on the cover of that old book is, "A Brief History of Piltover and Zaun."

Yes, he was reading a boring history book, and he had been reading it long before the landlord came.

Mrs. Piltover is always thinking about the future.

The Zaun people are struggling to live in the present.

Therefore, residents of the Twin Cities have no time to study the past, and historical research is not a popular subject here.

But Li Wei was studying extremely seriously, not only reading books, but also taking notes.

Not only taking notes, but also asking the teacher for advice while taking notes:

"Janna."

Levi called out the teacher's name.

If the landlord, Mr. Bill, hears this, he will definitely be surprised how this person has the same name as the legendary wind elf, the goddess Janna, whom he often talks about.

And if he saw the true form of the history teacher, he would be even more shocked.

Because this teacher of Li Wei is not a human being at all.

She is a bird, the cute blue bird lying on Levi's shoulder.

"Janna?"

"I'm here." Blue Bird actually used his thoughts to communicate with Li Wei.

She lazily spread her wings on Li Wei's shoulders and asked again:

"What strange questions are you going to ask me this time..."

"Mr. Summoner?"
