Chapter 16 The Ominous Blade (7k two-in-one)(2/3)
Soon after, Ji Xing and Camille returned to the deck after 'retrieving' the secret weapon's impact.
Jorge walked over with a gentle smile on his straight face: "I just didn't have time to say hello, is this Mr. Sewell, the chief technician of Philos who developed the universal capsule?"
Camille said: "As I just said, General Jorge Bree of Demacia."
Well, a Demacian nobleman who is full of arrogance, prejudice, and rudeness. I don’t know why Prince Jarvan IV sent him.
Ji Xing smiled and shook hands with Jorge, who was also smiling: "Hello, General Jorge Burri, I am Sevier."
A smile shows friendship between both parties.
Smiles also spread.
When they stepped off the Abyss, they met several councilors and Piltover's upper-class nobles on the dock. They all smiled and congratulated Feros on his 'big victory' and proposed a visit to the legendary battleship Abyss.
request.
The smile quickly spread to the faces of every resident of Piltover. Prosperous commerce requires strong force to protect it. Many small businessmen have been suffering from the pirates of Bilgewater for a long time. Their risk resistance is low and a ship was robbed.
Boats may bring about bankruptcy and the decline of the family business.
"Hahaha, this is really the biggest gift I received on Evolution Day!"
"Long live Piltover!"
"May the gears turn in the right direction and may there be more Sewells in Piltover, Jess!"
"Long live the Gray Lady!"
The festive atmosphere is getting more and more lively.
On the Science and Technology Magic Bridge, a woman wearing sexy leather armor hurriedly passed by, her long burgundy hair fluttering, and she turned her head casually to feel the festive atmosphere. A long and fierce scar passed through her left eye, adding to the
A sharp color.
"It's very happy and lively."
…
Some are happy and some are sad.
Zaun, Old Fulgan Tavern.
The alchemy barons gathered together again and fell into a death-like silence.
Zuan is also celebrating its evolution day. The first floor of the tavern has been in a singing and dancing environment since last night, but it is like another world just one floor away.
Silko sat behind his desk and suddenly sighed: "I'm really disappointed to see you guys come to me."
The alchemist barons in front trembled, remembering how they walked around in front of the gate of hell the last time they didn't cooperate, and remembered that Silko warned them about the greatest magic weapon for Zaun's rise, loyalty.
But they didn't move because they were afraid of Silko and afraid of death.
"Hilko, everyone is here to discuss with you..." Finn stumbled and said, "You must have heard about what happened in the upper city. Even guys like Gangplank were easily dealt with. We are
No... we need a long-term plan? Or we need the help of General Amystan, and then..."
"It is impossible for General Amystan to come to Zaun." Hilko interrupted hoarsely: "The value we have shown now is not worth her coming. We can only get back the shimmer with our own strength and maintain a stable supply for a period of time.
, we can make her look at her. The world has always worked like this, and you should understand it best."
"But……"
"What?" Hilko interrupted: "I don't know what the secret weapon is, but a secret weapon should be kept secret instead of letting everyone know that they have that kind of thing but not letting anyone see the weapon.
's true appearance.
I think it may not even be a technological weapon, but some kind of magical item that is expensive to activate? It is not surprising that the Philos family, which has a long heritage, has that kind of thing, and in any case, they will not use it against Zaun."
Hilko was emotional: "Our actions will not be affected in any way, or in other words, just when the people of Piltover are united, we should tell them about Zaan's existence and demands!
Do you know why I didn’t choose the Dance Corridor this time? Look out the window and look at the smelly ditch that almost runs through the entire Zaun!
The filthy air that cannot be breathed without a mask, and the average life expectancy of a person is less than twenty years old! The children of Zaun need a better environment!
Facing the threat of Piltover, we have been retreating. After today, they will be more prosperous, and we will only fall into a deeper abyss, and there will never be a day for us to stand up. Jinx can be sacrificed, even me, if you
If you really want to, I can take responsibility for that smuggling case, but if you don't have the guts to face the city, are you ready to go back underground?"
The alchemy barons were silent.
Silko waved his hand and said: "Tonight's actions remain unchanged. I don't want to see you wavering again, no matter what happens."
"..." The alchemy barons, who were worried about losing everything in their hands, were finally persuaded by Silko who revealed his true feelings, and they retreated bitterly one by one.
Only Sevika was left looking at Silko, who was silent facing the window, and said: "You hesitated?"
"No, I won't hesitate." Silko said silently: "I just don't understand why the situation naturally gets worse? After several years of hard work and a few days of loss, is it true that Zu'an is not upright?
A chance to stand up?”
Because of what? Because of Sewell?
"Oh, Sewell... I should have found a way to meet him earlier."
…
"Oh~Sevier, I heard about your feats, but I still want to advise you."
At night, under the grandly decorated stage, Heimerdinger's big head suddenly appeared in front of Ji Xing, and pointed at his big head: "We scientists should be more committed to using science and technology to improve people's livelihood. In the world, your mind has more power than others."
People have greater value, you should protect yourself instead of performing a show about three people taking over the ship?"
"I understand, I will do it next time."
Ji Xing smiled and turned around to introduce: "Sarah, Raven, this is Professor Heimerdinger."
"Hello, Professor Heimerdinger, great inventor, I have heard of your name since I was a child." Sarah said.
"Really?" Heimerdinger tiptoed, and he could tell at a glance that the two of them did not belong to Piltover: "Welcome to Piltover, happy Evolution Day. You are the two brave men who defeated the big pirate with Sevier.
? It must have been a magnificent battle, really amazing."
"Professor, you really treat me differently."
Heimerdinger naturally replied: "Everyone has different responsibilities. Just like tonight, Jace's responsibility is to make his Evolution Day speech well, so that Piltover and the Zaun people have a greater sense of belonging, so that
The Twin Cities will have a better tomorrow."
The location they were in at the moment was the corner of the Piltover Tower venue, and guests from all over the world were gradually taking their seats at the venue.
The higher the status, the closer to the front you sit. For example, the congressmen, Camille, General Jorge of Demacia, etc. sit in the front row.
Of course Ji Xing is qualified to sit there, but he feels that he has attracted enough limelight today and will not dominate the evening.
Heimerdine, on the other hand, found Ji Xing in the corner, so he sat over, scolded Ji Xing for his early morning adventure, and started chatting with Ji Xing about some of the latest scientific research.
Sarah inherited her mother's craftsmanship and talent in making firearms, but after listening to it for a while, she still felt like she was hearing something from heaven, and couldn't help but look at Raven.
Even now, she still feels ridiculous because she doesn't believe that "Master Roger is the universal capsule Sewell", this is outrageous.
Time moved slowly, and when the venue suddenly became quiet, Heimerdinger also stopped his unfinished discussion with Ji Xing and looked at the stage. Sure enough, tonight's main character appeared on the stage.
"Why don't you go to the front?"
Heimerdinger shook his head, hugged the pet Poro jumping under the chair and said, "Just sit here... Where did you go just now?"
Ji Xing also stretched out his hand to tease Poro amid the cute cry.
As Jess, who was handsome and well-dressed in formal attire, waved on the stage, the venue burst into warm applause and even whistles.
Jess was obviously a little nervous. When he stood behind the lecture table and put his hands on the table, his shoulders collapsed unnaturally, and his hands really used strength.
"Uh..." He looked at the familiar and unfamiliar faces below, paused and said, "I know many people may be a little surprised when they see that I am giving a speech tonight, because there are many people who may be more qualified than me, such as us.
Dear Professor Heimerdinger, like my greatest helper Victor, or Sewell..."
There was a slight commotion below, but I didn't expect Jace to make such an unconfident opening statement.
But immediately after, Jess stood up and said, "But I won't let you down if I stand here tonight. I have prepared the latest technology to share with you, Hex's latest achievements!"
"oh--"
"Really?"
"Let's see quickly!"
There was a sudden excitement underneath, but Heimerdinger's old face couldn't help but slump, and he spread his hands and whispered: "Oh~ How could this happen? It's not safe even though I advised Jace and Victor not to take out those things this morning.
It’s best to concentrate on researching the invention for another ten years... It seems that they have their own ideas, or..."
He pinched the Poro and looked at Ji Xing: "Are you inspired by Sevier?"
Ji Xing remained silent and did not take the blame.
But he knew that perhaps it was really out of his own 'stimulation' that Jace's choice was different.
On the stage, he took out a crystal-clear glass ball-like object and showed it to everyone: "I call it 'Hex Gem'. It is far more stable than the Hex Crystal, but at the same time more powerful.
of energy.
Believe me, even if you hit it hard with a hammer, nothing will happen. Victor and I have repeatedly confirmed this and demonstrated it to Professor Heimerdinger, but on today's occasion, I will not demonstrate it to you again.
Already."
