Two Cities, I build mecha in Picheng

Chapter 426 Swain's Reckoning
On the shoreline near the southern part of Piltover and the Piltover Canal, Mel and Ambesa walked along the marble path one after the other.

Mel hadn't seen her mother for ten years. Yesterday, Ambesa suddenly contacted her by telegram, saying that she would arrive today, which caught her by surprise.

Call Jess, arrange for the Hexgate manned airship tower to be temporarily blocked, and then rush out to greet him, but this is the way of meeting...

Mel stared at the broad back in front of him, and there was always a sulking feeling in his chest, "Mother!"

She called to stop Ambesa, and the woman in front also stopped.

"What exactly do you want to come to Piltover?" She asked in an unfriendly tone, "Why are you still entangled with Du Kecao?"

Ambesa lowered her head, sighed heavily, and said with sadness in her voice, "Your brother is gone."

Mel was stunned, and it took a moment to react: "What happened?"

Although she hadn't communicated much with her brother since she was a child, they were brothers and sisters whose blood was thicker than water. When she first heard the news that he was gone, she still felt uncomfortable.

"He messed with someone who shouldn't be messed with."

Ambesa turned her body halfway, her eyes fixed on the rising and falling waves in front of her.

Mel's elder brother has always been trained by Ambesar as the next head of the Noxus Myrdalda family.

Although Ambesa once intended to raise a daughter because her eldest son was not a suitable candidate for a leader, it is a pity that since the war ten years ago, Mel's sympathy for the enemy made her give up this idea.

No matter how unsatisfactory her son is, she will not entrust Myrdalda to a descendant who can be merciful to the enemy.

This simply wouldn't work in Noxus, where the weak preyed on the strong and the strong survived.

As far as Mel was concerned, she had never seen such a look on her normally tough mother's face.

Combined with the fact that Katerina was sent to Piltover by the Du Kecao family, who had never dealt with Myrdalda very much, she could probably guess what happened to her brother.

"Brother messed with Swain?"

But as soon as she said this, Ambesa's face changed slightly, and she stepped in front of Mel in two steps, covered her mouth, and shocked her.

"Just know, don't talk nonsense." While talking, Ambesa carefully looked around.

Because it is located next to a canal in the suburbs, it is not a short distance from the Sun Gate Wharf in the southern urban area. This area is sparsely populated, relatively wide, and there are basically no blind spots that block the view.

This is also the main reason why Ambesa chose to talk to her daughter here.

Seeing that there was no one around, Ambesa breathed a sigh of relief and let go of her hand, "Be careful that the walls have ears. This time, Caterina du Cacao is not the only one coming to Piltover."

Mel is not an idiot, so he can naturally understand his mother's voice-over.

The Du Cau family supported Swain, and Katerina came to watch her.

But apart from Katerina, the watcher on the bright side, there seems to be someone else waiting in the shadows.

Ambesa clenched her fists tightly, and there was a "click" sound from the bones in her fingers.

Immediately, she sighed again, looking at Mel with tired eyes, "I was careless at the time, and it turned out to be an irreparable big mistake."

The mother's slumped look, as well as the actions and words just now made Mel's eyes flash with astonishment.

"Noxus recently promulgated the Trifari Proclamation, my brother didn't abide by it, and then he was liquidated... right?"

Ambesa lowered her head again, hiding the deep pain in her eyes, "I didn't expect you to know this."

"Now that the times have progressed, I know a lot of things." Mel said, "What's more, the Noxus coup is a big event. As a member of the neutral city-state Piltover, I naturally have to pay more attention."

"You've grown up, Mel." Ambesa smiled gratifiedly, "I heard that you have a friend named Li Lin. He built the Hex armor, and he can even fly into the sky?"

Mel froze for a moment, her originally sad expression suddenly changed, and boredom immediately covered her face, "I knew it!"

She said impatiently, and walked a few steps away directly past her mother.

"Mel!" Ambesa called her, "The situation in Noxus is still unstable, the Grand Commander is liquidating all those who resist or intend to resist him, you don't know his ability, anyone's secrets are in his eyes There is nowhere to hide!"

Ambesa walked behind her daughter who had stopped, and continued: "We're going to fight Mel, because of your brother's affairs, our lineage of Myrdalda in Noxus is in a precarious situation..."

She was interrupted by Mel before she finished speaking: "You don't have to find all kinds of reasons because you want a weapon. Li Lin is my friend, but his invention only represents himself. Even the Gilaman family have no right to interfere."

"What about your Jess Tallis?" Ambesa still didn't give up. "He invented the Hex-flying gate. It is not difficult to develop a new type of Hex weapon."

"okay!"

Mel stared back at her mother, and made a move that she only dared to think about when she was a child, but never dared to practice—rebuttal.

"I funded Jess to develop the Hexfly Gate for the better development of the city of progress, not to use weapons to make war fortune, like Noxus!"

She recalled that she had followed other councilors to watch Geboga's actual combat.

The giant lava beast, which was the size of a hill and was said to have participated in the War of the Void, was helpless under Geboga's fist.

According to Heimerdinger, in that battle, the driver Li Lin didn't even display half of the mechanical giant's power, especially its most powerful "giga-level cannon".

If Geboga is used to attack Noxus, it only takes two to three minutes of energy storage to raze the capital city of the Immortal Fortress to the ground.

Mel didn't dare to imagine what the world would look like if this kind of war machine technology, which was enough to trample Demacia and crush Ionia, fell into the hands of his mother and Noxus.

Seeing that her daughter did not agree to give her a weapon, Ambesa also became tough, "Once the weapon is made, it will definitely come in handy!"

She paused for a while, "Midarda is about to end, as a child of Midarda, is it possible that you can watch your family decline like this?"

"We can't represent Myrdalda." Mel retorted with a cold snort, "Although the economic benefits of the Sun Gate sea gate are much lower with the Hex Flying Gate, Jagu Myrdalda is still the wealth of Piltover today. No.1 on the list."

"Don't talk to me about that old guy, he is not with us!" Ambesa pressed her hands on Mel's shoulders, forcing her to face herself, "I thought you had grown up Mel, but Unexpectedly, you are still so indecisive."

Her eyes were piercing, and she didn't even notice that there was a sightseeing airship approaching, "It seems that my trip to Picheng was not wrong. I still have to guide you to make the right decision."

"I don't need your advice!" Mel confronted her, looking at her mother with a firm attitude.

"Not always."

At this moment, a familiar female voice came from the airship docked nearby, "Hey, Myrdalda, have you finished chatting yet?"

The mother and daughter looked back at the same time, and saw Katerina, who was leaning against the armrest of the airship, dexterously turning a dagger no bigger than a palm with her slender fingers, raised her eyebrows at them, and both of them couldn't help frowning. smile.

Beside her, there was a handsome "butter boy" in luxurious clothes, holding a tray of wine in his hand, with a panicked and nervous look on his face.

This was originally Ambesa's favorite boy, but now Katerina temporarily conscripted him as a servant for groceries.

"I'm new here, and I still want to taste the local specialty snacks." She said with a smile, "Is your daughter coming?"

"She doesn't need it."

Ambesa separated Katerina from looking at Mel, waited for the airship's escalator to be firmly connected, and strode onto the airship.

"It's enough to have me with you."
