Chapter 106 I Am Also a Zuan Person
"What happened? How did those sewer rats get in touch with the Demacia people?"
"How should I know! How could I have the time to keep an eye on those sewer rats?"
"Meadalda, do you think this letter was really sent by the king of Demacia?"
In the parliament building of Piltover, at the round table, eight councillors came to the scene and held a meeting on what happened today.
Mel frowned and raised his eyes and said: "The dragon birds have already appeared, so this matter cannot be false. No one in Demacia dares to use the name of the king. Therefore, when we don't know, Zaun is indeed connected with Demacia."
"Was it done by the man named Fandel?" Councillor Giraman asked puzzledly.
Heimerdinger was confused. He knew nothing about politics. He sat there and said uneasily: "Is it going to war? Can we not fight?"
"Professor, no one said they were going to fight." Mel looked at Heimerdinger helplessly and said.
What can Piltover use to fight Demacia? Didn't the Piltover people get scared when they saw the dragon bird appear?
That's a flying beast!
It's a dragon species!
"Damn it, no wonder the Zaun people have become tough recently, no wonder Sheriff Grayson couldn't catch anyone in the Undercity, it turns out that the Zaun guys have Demacia's support behind them. Councillor Medarda, your family knows about this, aren't you going to do anything? Just watch Demacia do whatever it wants in our territory?"
Mel looked at the councillor who asked the question, her eyes turned cold, then she smiled again and said, "What to do? Right now Noxus is attacking Ionia with all its might, and has no time to care about Demacia. They even hope that Demacia won't show up at this time, so Noxus won't do anything."
Midarda is indeed a big family in Noxus, but compared with the king of Demacia?
What a joke!
That's Demacia!
Noxus has never been able to bite it off successfully, and even broke a few teeth of Demacia because of Demacia's resistance!
Medarda and Demacia are on par? Ha, crazy!
Besides, Mel has no sense of belonging to Medarda. She doesn't even feel like belonging to Noxus. In fact, Mel is tired of her family. In Piltover, she found the reason to struggle. This city has what Mel likes. Therefore, she prefers to recommend herself as a councilor of Piltover, and doesn't like to recommend herself as a member of the Medarda family.
Also, that's Zaun, what do you mean by our territory?
Mel is also a businessman who pays attention to interests, but she has to say that sometimes, these councilors of Piltover are really too much.
They really don't treat Zaun people as human beings. They recruit them with cheap labor and constantly send toxic gases and wastewater to Zu. The current appearance of Zaun is not only because of the canal explosion hundreds of years ago, but also because of what the people of Piltover have done over the years.
You were obviously one a hundred years ago!
Mel, a Noxian who joined Piltover halfway, is really incomprehensible.
"Anyway, pack up. Don't send law enforcement officers to Zaun in the near future. Also, collect wastewater and garbage. Don't dump them directly into Zaun. The words of the King of Demacia are polite, but also very overbearing. Do you understand what I mean?" Mel put his hands together and supported his chin.
"I understand."
"Alas, why is Demacia communicating with Zaun? What's so good about those sewer rats?"
"That's right, why don't they cooperate with us?"
The councillors showed bitter expressions.
Piltover is very strong, but in front of a truly powerful country, they don't even have the courage to resist.
Especially when that name is - Demacia.
Zaun, in the base of Silco.
Rowan had just arrived at the base of Silco today when he saw Victor coming up to him. He had a serious expression on his face, and next to him was old Singed, whose hair seemed to have become thinner.
"Rowen, the research has reached its limit. We now need Jayce's help. Only he knows the direction of Hextech development best. Without him at the helm, we can't sail this ship far."
"Can't you?" Rowan said to Victor.
Victor shook his head and said, "I can do it according to Jayce's direction, and I can even do better than him, but when the direction reaches the end, I can't move forward, because I'm not Jayce. If it were Jayce, he would definitely hit it head-on, break the wall at the end, and then go down, but I can't do it. My imagination is really not as good as Jayce's."
Singed took over from the side and said, "This invention is unprecedented. I have checked countless ancient books. Even thousands of years ago, the most powerful Shurima Kingdom had never had such an invention. This is an invention that can change the world!" Singed's eyes showed a hint of fanaticism, and he continued, "So Mr. Rowan, I really want to meet the young man named Jayce. I really can't imagine what will happen when magic is handed over to humans one day, but I think it will be beautiful."
"Teacher and I have both determined that if Hex Technology is going to continue to develop, Jace is an indispensable part." Victor continued: "And this is Jace's invention in the first place. What we are doing now is Stealing his wisdom is not what a scientist should do, so Rowan, can you let Jace participate?"
Rowan looked at Singed and Victor and said, "Of course I have no problem, but the question now is, is Jace willing to join us?"
"He would be willing," Victor said.
"Because he wants to see the completion of Hex Technology more than anyone else. What father doesn't want to witness the growth of his children?" Victor laughed.
"Then, let's go find Jace." Rowan said.
Piltover -
After walking out of the college, Jess looked bitterly at the signboard of the college behind him. He looked at the beautiful sculpture of Professor Heimerdinger with the words "City of Evolution" written on it. Then, Jess choked and sniffed. Then he took his luggage and left Piltover University step by step.
Without Gila Mann's sponsorship, Jace could no longer study at Piltover University. He walked on the street, thinking about what happened during this period, and fell into confusion.
Before Evolution Day, he was so high-spirited and thought that the future would belong to him. However, after Evolution Day, he became a rat that everyone shouted at. Because of the explosion of Hex Technology, the Kira Mann family's Withdrawal of capital, no nobles are willing to invest in him.
He is now something of a joke in Piltover.
What's even more funny is that just now, a law enforcement officer found him and told him that the matter was over. The councilors had withdrawn the wanted order against the Zaun thieves. This also meant that Jace He couldn't catch the criminal who stole his things, and at the same time, he couldn't find the Hex Crystal that he had been studying for a long time.
And all the blame was borne by Jace.
Fortunately, he doesn't need to go to jail.
"Everything is ruined." Jace smiled bitterly.
He planned to go home, meet his mother, and then inherit the family business honestly and become a hammer-maker.
The glory of Talis will not be restored to him, and the Talis family will never be able to return to its original state.
When he reached Stellar Avenue, Jace was suddenly stunned because he saw Victor, leaning on a cane. Then, next to Victor was a somewhat familiar man. After a few more glances, Jace recognized him.
Rowan, who had recruited him before.
Jace lowered his head, trying to pretend not to see Victor, because he had no shame to see Victor now.
But then, he heard Victor's voice, "Jace!"
Jace pretended not to hear, then lowered his head and walked forward, but Victor followed.
"Jace, wait, I have something to tell you!"
Victor stopped Jace.
Jace stopped helplessly, turned to look at Victor, and said, "Victor, what do you want from me? I am no longer a student at Piltover University. I have been expelled and my experiments have been stopped. "
"Jace, let's talk, find a place to talk."
"I have nothing to talk about, Victor. I was wrong about this. I should have listened to you at the time, but as you can see, I also paid the price I deserved. I apologize to you for ruining our relationship." It’s my hard work, but I can’t give you anything, and I don’t have the money to compensate you,” Jess said seriously.
Victor didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "That's not the case. Anyway, talk to me!"
Rowan interrupted the two of them and said, "I have prepared the place for chatting. Do you plan to continue this useless conversation?"
Victor and Jace were both stunned, and then they followed Rowan silently.
A few minutes later, the business district of Stellar Avenue.
"Welcome to the House of Everything. Excuse me, Rowan." Kai'sa welcomed her out of the House of Everything. She will be looking after the house today. Lux has gone to the Undercity. She likes to spend time with Wei in the Undercity recently. Together.
Taking Jace and Victor to the Everything Room, everyone sat on the sofa. Kasha didn't leave either. She sat down and read a book.
"Jace, how have you been doing during this time?"
"What can I do? Didn't I just say that?" Jace said with a wry smile. He looked at Victor and saw that Victor was in good spirits and his guilt had dissipated a lot. He said, "You, on the other hand, seem to be doing pretty well. of?"
"Fortunately, it's true that this time was not wasted." Victor said, and then he hesitated and said: "Jace, Hex Technology"
"Stop talking about Hex Technology. I won't do Hex Technology anymore." Jace interrupted Victor.
"Why?"
"Why? Because the congressman banned me from making Hex Technology, everything has been ruined!"
"There is still a chance, Jace, I have hidden some Hex crystals, and we can continue to do research." Victor said hesitantly.
Jace's eyes lit up and he sat up, but then he slowly sat down again and said calmly: "Then, I won't study it anymore."
"Why? Are you worried about money? We have prepared the equipment and money. Now it's up to you." Victor asked in confusion.
And Jace replied calmly: "Victor, Hex Technology is as dangerous as you said. I have already made a mistake. Someone died because of my technology. Can you understand? Someone died!"
"Research is inherently dangerous. The professor told all the students the first day of college."
"Besides, this is unlike you, Jayce. You shouldn't be this kind of person. The Jayce I know is a man who will not regret fear and inaction even if mistakes and errors become sins."
Jace looked at Viktor in silence.
Viktor held out his hand to him and looked at him seriously.
And Jayce hesitated for a moment, then he held out his hand.
Rowen watched from the side, feeling a bit like an outsider.
This pair of brothers really redeemed each other.
And an hour later, in Zaun, in the factory of Hilco.
Jace, wearing a filter, shouted angrily:
"You didn't tell me that you were coming to Bottom City to do experiments with others!"
"What's wrong with people from Bottom City?"
"Victor, Bottom City is very dangerous!"
"I am from Bottom City."
In the factory, Rowan looked at the angry Jayce and the calm Viktor, showing a speechless expression.
Didn't they just make up?
Looking at the angry Jayce, Victor said directly: "Will you do it? Now only the bottom city can do the research. If you go back to the upper city, the councilors will not agree to the research of Hextech technology. You know it."
"I"
"Will you do it?"
"I will do it!" Jayce gritted his teeth.
