Chapter 43 Figure It Out

Of course, Ke Wen would not intervene personally in wars or anything like that.

Otherwise, wouldn't he have spent the past five years cultivating Wei He in vain?

Judging from the current strength of those two girls, as long as they are no longer restricted and can use their full abilities, Pi City's current level of weapons will not pose a threat to those two little girls at all.

Therefore, in the face of Heimerdinger's constant questioning, Coven just smiled and prevaricated, without giving any specific solution to the war, only ensuring that there would not be too many casualties.

Heimerdinger couldn't keep asking, so he had to change the topic to Hex Technology.

Next, Ke Wen explained the structures of several rune combinations to Heimerdinger and Victor, which opened their eyes.

It was getting late outside the eyelids, so Coven said goodbye.

He entrusted the task of designing the large-scale 'Hex Flying Gate' to Heimerdinger and Victor, and asked Victor to stay in the upper city to complete the structure and design of the building first.

On the way to send Ke Wen out of the academy, Victor patted his chest and promised: "Don't worry, sir!

I will complete the work you assigned as soon as possible! I first designed the sketch, and then personally went to the coast of Dicheng to check the geology and find the location to build the flying gate! "

"No need to work too hard."

Coven turned his head and looked at Victor's body.

Then he smiled and warned: "Your body has left behind the root of the disease when you were in the city. Not only your right leg, but your internal organs can't withstand any more wear and tear, so take your time."

"It's okay sir!"

Victor's eyes were full of realization: "As long as I can completely change Zu An's dream! I'm not afraid of death!"

"Not really."

Ke Wen smiled and waved his hand: "Since you work for me, of course I will also be responsible for your health. There is no condition now. When I go back, I will study various herbal medicines in depth, and then prepare some therapeutic potions for you. As for you legs..."

Kewen thought for a while and said: "There are two ways to solve it."

"My legs?!" Victor was extremely excited!

He tightened his grip on the crutch in his hand,

He asked with a trembling tone: "Sir?! Is my leg still healing?!"

"certainly."

Ke Wen responded with a relaxed expression: "One way is to use Hex technology to make you an auxiliary Hex prosthesis. This is the fastest way to achieve results."

"And the alternative is normal treatment."

He raised his hand to stop Victor's interruption, and continued: "I know what you are going to say. The hospital in Piltover can't cure it, but it doesn't mean that I can't cure it either."

"That's right! You are a magician!" Victor suddenly realized.

But Ke Wen chuckled and shook his head: "This has nothing to do with magic, it's just normal medical skills. Blood vessels and hamstrings are atrophied, and muscles are necrotic, right?"

"Yes! That's right!" Victor nodded excitedly.

"It can be cured." Ke Wen gave hope: "With an operation and alchemy potion, it is not difficult to treat your right leg, but it will take a long time to heal."

He predicted it and told the result: "About three months of muscle regeneration, plus three months of exercise, and then you can get a complete right leg."

"this!

I……"

Victor was so excited that he couldn't speak, and in the end he could only keep saying thanks.

Ke Wen waved his hand and said it was nothing.

After walking out of the college gate, he stopped and warned again: "Remember, I don't pursue speed, so don't rush the design work. Work slowly and carefully. You must first pay attention to taking good care of your body."

"Yes! I remember sir!"

Victor bowed to Coven, but his balance was a little unstable because of his right leg.

Coven raised his hand to stop him, and he lifted Victor up.

Then he patted the other party on the shoulder: "If you encounter any problems, remember to go to Heimerdinger for help. Don't go into trouble alone. Okay, you can go back. I will come back to you in a few days when the war is over."

"No problem sir?"

Victor looked worried: "War..."

Before Victor could finish speaking, Coven smiled and pointed to the other person's crutches.

Victor reflexively grasped the crutch that almost flew away, and then suddenly scratched his head in shame: "I almost forgot, sir, you are not an ordinary person."

Ke Wen smiled, waved his hand and turned around to leave.

He did not return directly to the dark alley, but went in the direction of the hospital.

When he was in the laboratory, Victor reminded him.

After the "Hex Flying Gate" is built in the future, Shangcheng will steal technology or even research and imitate it.

Ke Wen wants to avoid this and avoid the future fighting between Black Alley and Piltover around the 'Hex Flying Gate'.

That's not good for development.

No matter how convenient the Hex Flying Gate is, no one likes to be involved in an explosion or battle at any time.

If this problem cannot be solved, the plan to rely on the "Hex Flying Gate" to earn start-up funds may be in vain.

】

So Corwin had to pay attention to Jace Tallis again.

In less than twenty minutes, he arrived at the Central Hospital in Piltover, and after a little inquiry, he got the location of Jace Tallis's ward.

Taking the elevator to the fourth floor, Kewen found the room number of the ward.

He raised his hand and knocked on the door.

"Please come in." A weak voice came from the room.

Ke Wen turned the handle, pushed open the door, and walked in directly.

"you are……"

Jess Tallis was half leaning on the hospital bed, his legs were fixed in the air by metal hangers, and his left arm and chest were covered with bandages.

Corwin didn't answer immediately.

He walked to the hospital bed, looked down at the other person and asked knowingly: "Jace Tallis?"

"It's me, sir, are you...?"

"Corwin Quinn."

"Hello Mr. Quinn, what do you want from me?"

“Let’s talk about technical plagiarism.”

"Technical plagiarism?!"

Jess Tallis could not help but be stunned. He asked incomprehensibly: "Sorry, sir, I didn't understand what you meant. What do you mean by technical plagiarism?"

"I mean the uh...magic crystal."

Coven almost said the word 'Hex'. If he had said it, it would be impossible to tell who had plagiarized whom.

After changing his words in time, Coven took out a perfect version of the crystal from his pocket and handed it to Jess Tallis for a look.

As expected, Jess Tallis was suddenly stunned on the spot!

"This! This is...?"

He stared at the round, perfect crystal and looked up at Ke Wen in shock.

He screamed louder, not even caring about the sharp pain in his chest. "Is this my Hex Crystal?!"

Trying hard to stand up but failing, Jess Tallis could only lie on the bed and asked Kewen anxiously: "What's going on?! Why do you have this?! My skills Should...should..."

Having said this, Jess Tallis suddenly became speechless.

The unbearable blow made him a little dizzy.

Jess Tallis asked desperately: "Plagiarism...it turns out that this kind of technology has been around for a long time, right...?"

"Yes."

Ke Wen nodded slightly: "I noticed the energy at the time of the explosion, but I got stuck on some trivial matters in the next few days, so I only took the time to come see you today."

"So...what do you want to say?"

Jace Tallis covered his face with his good right hand.

He murmured in a low voice, dull and helpless: "As you can see, I ruined everything by being a half-finished product, but..."

Jess Tallis put down his hand and stared at Coven with extremely stubborn eyes to emphasize: "Sir! I swear! I definitely did not plagiarize your technology! I didn't know that this technology had already appeared! I just saw it because I had seen it before. Magic! That’s why I developed this semi-finished technology from scratch! I really didn’t draw on any relevant knowledge!

"

"calm."

Ke Wen calmly reassured and nodded slowly: "Yes, I believe you."

"Really?!" Jace Tallis looked forward to it.

"Um."

Coven responded, pulled over the chair and sat down.

He then explained: "There are only two places in the world that have the means to make and use them."

Kewen gestured to the crystal in his hand.

Without waiting for Jess Tallis to ask questions, he continued: "One place is the Philos family, the real rulers of Piltover, and the other place is mine."

"The Philos family?"

Jess Tallis was at a loss.

He ignored the words 'true ruler' and focused his attention on the crystal.

He said blankly: "But... I have never heard that that family has Hex technology."

"Hex?"

Ke Wen smiled and changed the topic slightly: "I have always called them magic crystals, but the name Hex is a good one. From now on, it will be mine, okay?"

Jess Tallis opened his mouth, but finally sighed. He said nothing, which was tantamount to acquiescing.

Kewen smiled, and then raised the fingertips of his right hand.

A half-meter-square illusion emerged from the air, and Kewen played a video of the Furima Empire.

In the video, Jess Tallis saw a scene of humans digging in the desert.

He saw humans digging out huge and ferocious scorpion life forms from beneath the deep gravel.

I also saw humans breaking open the carapace and flesh of those scorpions and taking out the Hex Crystal from their bodies.

This made Jess Tallis' eyes widen.

Before he could take a closer look, Ke Wen flicked his fingertips to make the illusion disappear.

"This! That...this..."

Jess Tallis couldn't organize the words and didn't know where to start.

Coven knew what the other person was thinking.

So he smiled: "I am a magician. That was magic just now, and what you saw is the origin of the Feros family getting the magic crystal. Oh, by the way."

He also reminded: "The Philos family calls the crystal taken from the body of the scorpion the 'primordial crystal'."

"So this Hex Crystal was born from the body of that scorpion?"

Jess Tallis searched for the truth, but immediately returned to depression: "Forget it..."

He shook his head and sighed: "No matter what the essence is, it has nothing to do with me..."

"I think you'd better keep listening."

Kewen rolled the crystal back and forth between his fingers as if he were playing with a glass ball.

At the same time, he continued to explain: "The Hex Crystal cannot be compared with the original crystal, because the original crystal contains more than magic, more than one kind of magic, it also contains the inheritance of knowledge, and the Hex Crystal..."

Corwin held the crystal between two fingers.

After showing it in front of Jess Tallis, he said: "There can only be one kind of magic in the Hex Crystal."

"The original crystal obtained by the Philos family has been consumed."

"Further searches were stopped by the resurrected 'Crystal Pioneer' of the Shell Tribe, that kind of giant scorpion."

"So the Fellowes started working on counterfeits."

Pointing in the direction of the lower city, Coven said: "The Philos family has set up several hidden factories in the lower city, where they secretly manufacture artificial crystals that do not contain magic and can only be used as energy sources through chemical synthesis. "

"As for where the factories are located? It just depends on which factory emits the most pollutants."

"anyway."

Ke Wen once again showed the crystal in his hand: "So, the crystal of the Philos family is different from the crystal you want to make. The final result of your idea is mine. This kind can be stored in it and use magic. of crystal.”

"Do you understand?" Ke Wen stopped explaining and asked.

Jess Tallis nodded: "I understand, sir, thank you for your explanation."

"Um."

Kewen put the crystal into his pocket, then smiled and said: "Then let's talk about what happened between us."

"Do you want to be held accountable?" Jess Tallis said dejectedly: "Although I did not plagiarize anything, my research ideas have already been finished. If I let the parliament judge, I will still be punished for plagiarism."

He looked at Ke Wen and gave a wry smile: "Okay sir, if you think there is anything on my body that can compensate me, then go ahead and ask the parliament for arbitration."

"No." Ke Wen smiled and shook his head: "I don't intend to pursue it, and I really appreciate your idea, so I have another way of compensation. Do you want to hear it?"

Jess Tallis was slightly stunned, but he also became interested: "Please tell me."

"Let's rest quietly first."

Ke Wen pointed in the direction of the college: "After you are discharged from the hospital, go to the college to find Assistant Professor Victor. He will tell you what to do."

"If you agree and assist Victor as an assistant, I can give you access to further research on this technology."

"Promise what?!"

Jess Tallis immediately asked.

Hex technology has been his passion since he was a child, and Jess Tallis is certainly not willing to give up just yet.

At this time, there was hope that he could continue his research, so of course he had to seize the opportunity immediately.

In this regard, Kewen did not elaborate.

It was already past dinner time, and there were so many things to do at home, so Ke Wen didn't plan to stay in the city and waste time.

So he just asked Jace Tallis to find Victor to find out on his own after he was discharged from the hospital.

After saying a few more polite words to comfort the patient, Kewen stood up and left.

At this point, he had finally mastered the still immature Jess Tallis.

He easily deceived Jace Tallis into his own camp...
