LOL: The days of cultivating immortals in Rune Continent

Chapter 106 I am also a Zuan person

"What on earth happened? How did those sewer rats get in touch with the Demacians?"

"How should I know! How can I possibly have the time to keep an eye on those gutter rats?"

"Senator Medarda, do you think this letter is really from the king of Demacia?"

In the parliament building in Piltover, at the round table, all eight parliamentarians came to the scene and held a meeting on what happened today.

Mel frowned, then raised his eyes and said, "The dragon bird has already appeared, so this cannot be false. No one in Demacia dares to use the king's name. Therefore, without us knowing, Zaun was indeed connected with Demacia."

"Was it done by the man named Vander?" asked Senator Giraman in confusion.

Heimerdinger was confused. He knew nothing about politics. He sat there anxiously and said, "Are we going to have a war? Can we not fight?"

"Professor, no one said anything about going to war." Mel looked at Heimerdinger helplessly and said.

What can Piltover use to fight Demacia? Didn't the people of Piltover 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 backing them up. Councillor Midarda, your family knows about this, aren't you going to do anything? Are you just going to watch Demacia do whatever they want in our territory?"

Mel looked at the councillor who was asking the question, her eyes turned cold, then she smiled and said, "What? 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."

The Medarda are indeed a big family in Noxus, but compared to the king of Demacia?

What a joke!
That's Demacia!
Noxus has never been able to successfully take down Demacia, and even lost several teeth due to Demacia's resistance!
Medarda is compared to Demacia? Ha, that's crazy!
Besides, Mel has no sense of belonging to Midalda. She has no sense of belonging to Noxus. In fact, Mel is tired of her own family. In Piltover, she found the reason to struggle. This city has things that Mel likes. Therefore, she prefers to recommend herself as a member of Piltover rather than as a member of the Midalda family.

Also, that's Zaun, what do you mean by our territory?
Mel is also a profit-oriented businessman, but she has to admit that sometimes these Piltover council members really go too far.

They really didn't treat the people of Zaun as human beings. They recruited them as cheap labor and continuously sent poisonous gases and wastewater to Zaun. The current state of Zaun is not only due to the canal explosion hundreds of years ago, but also because of what the people of Piltover have done over the years.

You were clearly one a hundred years ago!
It is really hard to understand why Mel, a Noxian who joined Piltover halfway.

"Anyway, let's withdraw our troops. Don't send any more law enforcers to Zaun in the near future. Also, collect the wastewater and garbage. Don't dump them directly into Zaun. The king of Demacia's words are polite, but also overbearing. Do you understand what I mean?" Mel said, clasping his hands together and supporting his chin.

"I see."

"Hey, why is Demacia communicating with Zaun? What good are those sewer rats?"

"Why don't you cooperate with us?"

The congressmen all 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 Hilco's base.

As soon as Rowan arrived at the base of Shilko today, he saw Victor coming towards him with a serious expression on his face. Next to him was old Singed, whose hair seemed to have become thinner again.

"Rowen, our research has reached its limit. We now need Jace's help. Only he knows the direction of Hextech development best. Without him at the helm, we won't be able to sail this ship far."

"Can't you?" Rowan said to Victor.

Victor shook his head and said, "I can follow Jayce's instructions, 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 run into it, break the wall at the end, and then move on. But I can't do that. My imagination is really not as good as Jayce's."

Singed said, "This invention is unprecedented. I have checked countless ancient books. Even thousands of years ago, the most powerful kingdom of Shurima had never had such an invention. This is an invention that can change the world!" Singed's eyes showed a hint of enthusiasm. He continued, "So Mr. Rowan, I really want to meet that young man named Jace. I really can't imagine what will happen when magic is handed over to humans one day, but I think it will be beautiful."

"My teacher and I have already determined that if Hextech is to continue, Jayce is an indispensable part." Victor continued, "And this was originally Jayce's invention. What we are doing now is stealing his wisdom, which is not what a scientist should do. So, Rowan, can Jayce be involved?"

Rowan looked at Singed and Viktor and said, "That's fine with me, but the question now is, is Jayce willing to join us?"

"He would like to," said Victor.

"Because he wants to see the completion of Hextech technology more than anyone else. What father doesn't want to witness his child's growth?" Victor laughed.

"Then, let's go find Jace," said Rowan.

Piltover

Walking out of the academy, Jayce looked bitterly at the academy sign behind him. He looked at the beautifully built sculpture of Professor Heimerdinger with the words "City of Evolution" written on it. Then, Jayce sniffed with a sob, took his luggage, and left the University of Piltover step by step.

Without Gilaman's sponsorship, Jayce could no longer study at the University of Piltover. He walked on the street, thinking about what had happened during this period, and fell into confusion.

Before the Evolution Day, he was so high-spirited and believed that the future would belong to him, but after the Evolution Day, he became a rat that everyone wanted to kill because of the explosion of Hextech and the withdrawal of the Kiraman family. No nobles were willing to invest in him anymore.

He is now a joke in Piltover.

What's even funnier is that just now, a law enforcement officer found him and told him that the matter was over and the congressmen had withdrawn the wanted warrant for the Zaun thieves. This meant that Jayce couldn't catch the criminals who stole his things. At the same time, he couldn't get back the Hextech crystal he had been studying for a long time.

And all the blame was borne by Jace.

Fortunately, he didn't need to go to jail.

"Everything is ruined." Jace smiled bitterly.

He planned to go home, see his mother, and then honestly inherit the family business and become a hammer-making craftsman.

The glory of Tallis will not be revived in him, and the Tallis family will never be able to return to its former glory.

When they reached the Stellar Avenue, Jace was suddenly stunned because he saw Victor, leaning on a cane. Then, next to Victor was a familiar-looking man. After taking a few more glances, Jace recognized him. Rowan, whom he had recruited before.

Jace lowered his head, trying to pretend that he didn't see Victor, because he was too embarrassed to see Victor now.

But then, he heard Victor's voice, "Jace!"

Jace pretended not to hear and continued walking forward with his head down, but Victor followed him.

"Jace, wait, I have something to tell you!"

Victor called out to Jace.

Jayce stopped helplessly, turned to look at Viktor, and said, "Viktor, 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, let's find a place to talk."

"I have nothing to talk about, Victor. I was wrong about this matter. I should have listened to you at that time, but as you can see, I have also paid the price I deserve. I apologize to you. I destroyed our hard work, but I can't give you anything. As for compensation, I don't have any money." Jace said seriously.

Victor didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "It's not about this, anyway, talk to me!"

Luo Wen interrupted the two and said, "I've prepared a place for you to chat. Do you intend to continue this meaningless conversation?"

Viktor and Jace were both stunned, then they followed Rowan silently.

A few minutes later, the commercial district of Stellar Avenue.

"Welcome to the Handyman's Shop. Excuse me, this is... Rowan." In the Handyman's Shop, Kai'Sa came out to greet them. She was the one looking after the house today. Lux went to Underworld. She really liked being with Vi in Underworld recently.

After bringing Jayce and Viktor to the jack-of-all-trades room, everyone sat on the sofa. Kassadin didn't leave either, she sat down and started reading a book.

"Jace, how have you been doing lately?"

"What can I do? Didn't I just say that?" Jace said with a wry smile. He looked at Victor and saw that he was in good spirits. His guilt had dissipated a lot. He said, "You, on the other hand, seem to be doing well?"

"Fortunately, this period of time was not wasted." Victor said, then he hesitated and said: "Jace, Hextech"

"Don't talk about Hextech. I don't do Hextech anymore." Jayce interrupted Viktor.

"why?"

"Why? Because the councillor banned me from making Hextech. Everything is ruined!"

"There's still a chance, Jayce. I've hidden some Hextech crystals. We can continue our 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 the money? We have prepared the equipment and money. Now all we need is you." Victor asked puzzledly.

And Jace calmly replied: "Victor, Hextech is just as you said, it's dangerous. I have made mistakes, and people have died because of my technology. Do you understand? People have died!"

"Research is inherently dangerous. The professor told all the students this on their first day at university."

"Besides, this is unlike you, Jace. You shouldn't be this kind of person. The Jace I know is a man who will not regret out of fear or inaction even if his mistakes and errors become sins."

Jace looked at Victor in silence.

Victor held out his hand to him and looked at him seriously.

Jace hesitated for a moment, then he extended his hand.

Luo Wen watched from the side, feeling a bit like an outsider.

This pair of brothers really redeems each other.

And an hour later, in Zaun, in Hilco's factory.

Jace, wearing a filter, shouted angrily:

"You didn't tell me you were coming to Dicheng to do experiments with others!"

"What happened to the people in Dicheng?"

"Victor, the bottom city is in danger!"

"I am from Dicheng."

In the factory, Rowan looked at the angry Jace and the calm Victor with a speechless expression.

Didn’t we just make peace?
Looking at the angry Jace, Victor said directly: "Are you going to do it or not? Now only the Lower City can do the research. If you go back to the Upper City, the councilors will not agree to the research of Hextech. You know that."

"I"

"Do or not?"

"I, do it!" Jace gritted his teeth.
