Lux's Farewell

Chapter 84 [0081] The source of the sense of crisis
"I really didn't expect us to go this far." Jess, who left Zaun and returned to Piltover, finally ended his frenzied state, "Go to Zaun to do experiments, and Professor Heimerdinger's assistant Stealing from the academy warehouse together..."

"Don't be too burdened." Regarding Jess's slightly neurotic changes, Victor understood very well, "I didn't gain much from my unhappy childhood in Zaun, but at least 'figuring out my real purpose' is a .”

"Find out your real purpose?" Jess was a little surprised, "So, your real purpose is to create the future of Hextech with me?"

"Then improve people's livelihood, and it's best to heal my leg by the way." Victor showed a bright smile, as if the cup of tea had helped, and his expression relaxed a lot, "Compared to that, we now It’s not a big deal after all.”

"I understand, but it's still heavy." Jace finally shrugged. "Well, I think we need to find a place to rest and eat now. We have a lot to do tonight."

"There happens to be a Poro Cafe nearby." Victor thought for a while, and recommended a place to eat, "There are a lot of Poro there—I guess after today, I'm afraid I won't be able to go back to the academy, and I won't be able to see Professor Heimerdinger either. That lovely poro."

"Let's go." Jess nodded, "I invite you!"

In the end, Jess and Victor each drank two cups of espresso in the coffee shop, and then ate something to fill their stomachs. The two borrowed a small blackboard, and you analyzed Jess's previous experiment sentence by sentence. problems and possible solutions.

The highly consistent way of thinking made the two feel the resonance at the soul level. Before that, they had never thought that there was another person so similar to themselves in this world.

Jess and Victor, obviously have very different personalities and backgrounds, but both ideals and knowledge are so similar that when the cafe closed and they let go of the poro and left, they already regarded each other as their own. confidant.

Then, these two confidants entered the academy quietly and familiarly.

"The college's warehouse has always been a place where no one pays attention." Under the cover of darkness, Victor pulled Jess around several sentry boxes, "This is the corner of the college, and there is not even a dedicated warehouse manager. "

"The college is always stingy than anyone else in places where it shouldn't save money." Speaking of this topic, Jess couldn't help but said angrily, "On the one hand, he said that the funds are limited, and on the other hand, he randomly increased the experimental funds for those related households, and even It was also perfunctory when closing accounts...Although I don't like the administrative staff here, there should be no shortage of necessary manpower."

"However, less is not without benefits." Speaking of this topic, Victor suddenly couldn't help laughing out loud, "Many of the daily maintenance of the academy is handed over to someone from Zaun like me. Back then, the money I paid for studying was A lot of that comes from the chores — the work-study program.”

"However, there are almost no people who can succeed in Zaun like you." Jess shook his head, "So no one will do these jobs."

"No way, the work-study money is pitifully small, and no one will take it as their main job." Victor shrugged rarely, "If I didn't live in the college dormitory and often rubbed against Professor Heimerdinger for that little money I’m afraid I’ll really starve to death…”

"That's terrible—"

"Hush! Be quiet! The patrol is coming!"

........................

Victor deserves to be from a work-study background, and he knows everything about the college very well.

Even with Jess, he still went all the way around the grass, avoiding the sentries, entered the college building, and arrived at the warehouse smoothly.

"We need to hurry up, Jess." Leaning against the warehouse door, Victor let out a long breath, "Hurry up and move out the most important part of the equipment."

"High-frequency oscillation generator, stabilizer, gyro controller..." In the darkness, Jess murmured in a low voice, "Then take the first elevator tomorrow morning—you hurry up!"

"It's too dark here, I can't see the labels on the keys." Victor struggled to find the one at the warehouse door among a large bunch of keys, "After moving things out of the warehouse, I have to find a box overnight and make it into furniture. look..."

"What furniture?"

"Furniture boxes are less noticeable...Wait, who are you?"

The next moment, a bright light lit up.

When Jess and Victor adjusted to the light and opened their eyes again, they were stunned to see a character that they never expected.

Member of the Piltover Council, Mel Myrdalda.

"What made the two of you stay up in the middle of the night and run here?" Mel raised his face slightly, his sharp eyebrows raised slightly, "Mr. and you, Heimerdinger's teaching assistant, you shouldn't be here either."

"Hey, this doesn't seem to be my room." Victor blinked, trying to put on an innocent expression, "Sorry, I think I might have gone the wrong way—"

Victor's performance is pompous and clumsy.

But after realizing that everything had been seen through, Jess simply stood up.

"Your Excellency, I believe my experiment will be successful..."

"Did it successfully cause an explosion?" Mel pursed his lips slightly, "Sorry, I can't see the future."

"But someone saw it." Jess said without hesitation, "Your Excellency, I implore you to give me a chance."

"No one will disobey the council's decision, and neither will the Gilaman family." Mel looked at the excited Jess in front of him with interest, "Could it be, are you leaving Piltover?"

"Someone provided me with a laboratory in Zaun." After a moment of hesitation, Jess finally said, "Your Excellency, I sincerely hope that this future can blossom in Piltover, but now I have no choice."

(Hearing that Jess simply said that there was a new sponsor, Victor's eyes widened in astonishment—he wanted to stop it, but unfortunately it was too late.)
"Do you think those people will be willing to help you complete your research on magic?" Jess's reaction was beyond Mel's expectations, she snorted, and seemed to have completely lost interest in Jess, "It seems that your mother said That's right, the desire for magic has made you lose your mind..."

"The one who is willing to be my sponsor is the mage!" Jess clenched his fists and broke away from Victor's hand. "My idea is correct——"

"Mage?" Upon hearing this word, Mel finally showed an expression of interest, "Is it the young lady who saved your life... This is really unexpected."
