Teyvat's Otherworldly Adventurer

Chapter 21 Be the Light
In the end, Mrs. Gilaman was still unable to persuade Hessie.

This is of course, after all, Hai Xi was only forced on the surface, but in fact he still wanted to go.

Soon, Jess and Victor also knew about it.

In the Hex Workshop.

The two surrounded Hai Xi anxiously.

"Hey!"

Jess grabbed his arm, "Don't go! Let's find a way together, and there must be a way! Even Member Philos can't cover the sky with one hand!"

Although Victor's emotions were not as extroverted as Jess's, his eyes were full of worry and concern.

"Keep your voice down, Jess, you don't know how terrible the Philos family is."

Haixi smiled, and turned his gaze to Victor, "Victor, you are from Zaun, have you heard of the name [Cinderella] there?"

"Ash……"

Victor pupil earthquake.

Ordinary people in Zaun may not know it, but Victor is a genius who has studied with the alchemist Singed since he was a child, and he has also heard about some top-secret information that only the alchemy barons in Zaun know.

"You mean..." He opened his mouth, suddenly feeling a little dry.

This is not to blame for his timidity, because Mrs. Gray is really famous in the high-level circle of Zaun, and her vicious reputation is basically made in Zaun.

And Victor is not as idealistic as Jess, and hasn't seen much dark reality.

As a Zaunite who has been precarious since he was a child, if the enemy is the "Cinderella", he seems to understand Hai Xi's choice.

"Hey, what are you talking about?"

Jess got a little annoyed.

Now it's obviously a conversation between three people, why are you two still playing charades?

This will make me look dumb if I don't understand!

Am I the only one who is an outsider?

"Who is Mrs. Gray? What happened to her?"

"Jess, some things may be more unknown if you don't know..."

Before Victor finished speaking, he was interrupted by Jess: "Stop joking! Are you even going to hide it from me?! Aren't we best friends?"

"Ugh……"

Seeing Jess' serious expression, Hai Xi sighed, "Forget it, Jess, since you insist on knowing, then I'll tell you. But you must be mentally prepared, what you hear today may make you You reacquainted with Piltover."

Seeing him being so solemn, Jess restrained his emotions and sat down: "Say it, I'm ready."

"Well, where do we start? Who do you think is in charge of Piltover, Jace?"

Haixi played with two gemstones, one blue and one white, and asked leisurely.

"Parliament, of course."

Jess asked back as a matter of course, "You won't tell me this is wrong, will you?"

"It can't be wrong, but it's not completely right."

Haixi smiled, "To be precise, on the surface, everything is indeed decided by the parliament, but what the members say sometimes does not represent their own will."

"You mean someone is manipulating them?"

Jace wasn't stupid either, but he immediately pressed, "Who could?"

"Feros, they have actually ruled Piltover for hundreds of years with cruel methods hidden in the dark."

Haixi didn't go around in circles with him, and threw out the final answer straight to the point.

"Is this possible?"

Jess couldn't believe it, "If they use illegal means, will the law enforcement team not care?"

"This has to mention an organization - Philos Secret Service."

Haixi spread his hands, "Perhaps this part should be told by Victor. These spies have a better reputation in Zaun."

"What do you mean?"

Jace turned his eyes to Victor.

Then he heard many unbelievable things from Victor, which were cruel and dark that he had never imagined in his life.

"Wait, wait, let me sort it out."

Jess put his head in his hands, "What do you mean, the secret agents of the Philos family have been carrying out a brutal and high-handed rule over Zaun; most of the poisonous gas in Zaun comes from the underground factory of Philos; if someone violates the rules of the Philos family Will, even if he is a member of parliament, will be resolved secretly. So, "

He stared at Haixi closely: "Are you forced to work for the Philos family?"

Hai Xi did not answer his question directly, but said: "Jess, the Philos family has discovered the raw Hex crystal mine for many years, but they have not been able to develop it efficiently enough. Until your appearance !"

He returned the same stare: "This is an opportunity. The emergence of Hextech is a rare opportunity for Piltover, and it is an opportunity to completely overthrow the reign of terror of the Philos family! But,"

Hai Xi changed the subject: "We still need time, and Hex Technology needs more time. The current Hex is only a hopeful future, so we can't be impatient. Jess, especially you, you have to develop Hex well. Si technology, using the benefits brought by Hex technology to bring most people in Piltover together. Only in this way can we have a chance to break the haze of the Philos family and restore a clear sky to Piltover."

"But……"

Jess wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Hexi forcefully.

"No, but, I will help you buy time."

He tightly grasped Jess's hand, and stuffed the hex gem that he had been playing with into his palm, "It is our hope, and it is also the hope of the entire Piltover. For the future of Piltover, this is necessary sacrifice."

"The...future of Piltover?"

Jess clenched his fists, his eyes flushed.

"Come on, Jace."

Haixi twitched her lips, "I'm not sure I'm going to die, if you move fast enough, maybe you still have a chance to rescue me?"

These words made Jess overjoyed: "That's right! Then I'll go now..."

Haixi pulled him back in front of him: "I can't continue to be so impulsive, Jess. After the Hexgate is put into use, go to become a councilor. I have already told Mrs. Gilamann, She will connect you with enough supporters."

"Member? But I..."

"Why, don't you want to take the future of Piltover on your shoulders?"

Hai Xi's face darkened, "Aren't you willing to rescue me?"

"of course not!"

Jess fumbled to explain, "I just...never thought about..."

"To overthrow Philos and lead Piltover to a freer and brighter future is a burden that only you can shoulder. Jess, on the day you were born, all the gears of Piltover whispered, echoing With your name, Jess Tallis. You grow up and become the embodiment of technology. You must firmly remember that Piltover is the capital of technology and evolution, and technology must lead its way forward, not terror and Violence. One day, the haze of Philos will be broken, and you, will be the first ray of light piercing the dark clouds!"

Haixi's voice was ups and downs, like reciting a poem.

"I understand."

Jess paused every word, and solemnly promised, "I will definitely save you and protect the future of Piltover. I swear!"
