Lux's Magic Penetration Rod

Chapter 102 [0100] Pressing Forward Step by Step

The Noxian ambassador left the meeting neatly after leaving this notice.

Facing this light notice, all the members fell silent.

No one spoke.

Mel Myrdalda stared at the ceiling with blank eyes.

Heimerdinger clenched his little fists.

Mrs. Gillamann closed her eyes.

The other people didn't react at all. They all sat in their own seats like wood carvings and clay sculptures. No one looked at the notice.

Everyone is aware of its weight.

Announcement - yes, announcement.

Unexpected and unprepared.

The Noxian ambassador made a point of reciting it, in a tone of indignation, before leaving.

And all the members here know that this circular letter is fake from beginning to end - but, so what?

Stand up and slam it back into the Noxian ambassador's face?

Everyone here knows that no one can withstand the wrath of Noxus, even if the empire is fighting Ionia.

Mel is from the Myrdalda family, and Myrdalda and Noxus are inextricably linked.

Heimerdinger had seen with his own eyes the cruelty of the Rune War, and witnessed the Noxian Empire falling apart under the power of rune magic. He hoped to stay away from magic, and he hoped to avoid war.

The Gilaman family are out-and-out locals and have no favorable impressions of Zaun, let alone one that may have some relics.

As for the remaining seats...

To put it bluntly, they are qualified to sit here largely because of Noxian trade.

Piltover is nominally a free trading city, where everyone is equal before Jinhex.

But in fact... just north of Piltover is the huge Noxus Empire!

In order to maintain the identity of an independent city-state, Piltover has opened up many fields of knowledge to Noxus, and apart from some core technologies, Piltover can exchange and learn.

Countless goods from Noxus passed through the Sun Gate and, after paying the gold hex, led to all parts of the world in Runeterra; and goods from all over the world also passed through the Sun Gate and arrived in Noxus.

As a pure port commercial city, Noxus is Piltover's largest customer. According to Kalja's statistics, more than 70% of Piltover's trade is directly related to Noxus, and the remaining 30% , and 70% of them have indirect relations with Noxus.

Piltover is a free city.

But this freedom... is very limited.

The middle class of Piltover can proudly claim that in their city, everyone is equal before Jin Hex; they can also arrogantly despise the poor people of Noxus in the north, calling them the fuel of the military empire. .

But in fact, the members of the Piltover Council knew very well that Piltover was not qualified to talk about freedom in front of the Noxians.

Today's notice reminds everyone present again of this in the most direct way.

"I suggest you stop worrying about the underlying mine." After a long silence, Mel finally said with difficulty, "Don't give us a chance to use it as an excuse. If they want to dig, let them dig."

"That's right, that's right." After Mel spoke, the second congressman nodded quickly, "Leave all the things related to this matter to Noxus and let them have a headache - Zaun's What’s so good about this bad place? Just let them do whatever they want!”

"But we must not compromise so easily." Heimerdinger stood up, "This matter can only end here - the Noxians can go to the mines to find what they want, but they must not Let’s continue using the topic.”

"Using the topic?" A blond congressman raised his eyebrows and said in a not very friendly tone, "Are you worried about Mr. Jess and Mr. Victor? With all due respect, it is a very lenient choice of the Parliament not to punish them. We will not Maybe they will continue to be protected, after all..."

The new congressman seemed to want to say "The Hex Crystal flowed out from Jace" - but before saying this, facing Heimerdinger who seemed a little angry, he finally wisely closed his mouth Mouth.

"Although Hex technology is not yet mature, it does represent the future of progress!" Heimerdinger knocked on the table in front of him, "I still insist that everything ends here... Now, let's start voting!"

……………………

Members of Piltover's parliament were reeling from the explosion.

In the mine, Lux and the others were even more dizzy.

Since they moved deeper into the mine immediately, they were already quite far away from the center of the explosion when the explosion occurred.

Moreover, sensing the magic fluctuations that arrived first, Lux and Ino took action almost at the same time, forcibly erecting two barriers.

The falling gravel hit the barrier, making a splashing sound.

Then, as the shock wave arrived, everyone in the mine felt their ears buzzing and their eyeballs seemed to bulge out.

It felt like wearing a heavy helmet and then being hit on the head with a blunt instrument.

"What is this?" Hilko fell to the ground in embarrassment, and it took him a while to stand up while holding on to the wall. "Those explorers, did they blow up the mine?"

"Not explorers." Lux shook her head. "Explorers can't get Hex crystals - at least not so many."

"Hex crystals - that's what blew up that house, right?" Vandel took off his helmet and scratched his head. "Wei, did you touch such a dangerous thing before?"

"It was a bomb." Milo corrected without hesitation. "But the situation at that time was not as shocking as it is now."

"According to Jayce, it was just a few crystals the size of a fingernail that exploded that time." After confirming that there was no magic fluctuation, Lux dispersed the flash barrier. "And this time, I conservatively estimate that they detonated dozens of kilograms of Hex crystals."

"Who would do this?" Hilco was still shaking his head subconsciously. "This is very abnormal..."

Lux did not respond, but silently held the hilt of the sword and asked Kalya if he had any clues.

However, Kalya, who has always been omnipotent, really had no direction this time - from the motivation point of view, he thought it might be the Noxians who did it, but for a moment he couldn't figure out why they took such a drastic measure.

Finally, after confirming that the explosion was completely over and there were no more explosions, everyone finally finished.

The reason will be discussed later.

The key now is to dig down and find the entrance to the laboratory. As long as we find Calican's laboratory, all problems will be solved!

The outbreak is over, and it has just reached 100 chapters - not embarrassing, right?

I beg all readers to support me, please!

This... is not a chapter break, right? There will be updates in the evening!
