Battle of the Two Cities: Begins with the Mage

"You and Mel seem to have different ideas. She is very optimistic about Jace, but you chose Victor." Katerina shook her head and followed Ryan.

Ryan also didn't care whether Victor could hear him or not, and said without hesitation:

"Hex Technology has infinite potential. Since you have to choose one, why not choose the one that you think is better. We are all right, she believes that only newer technologies can be tapped. In my eyes, those who have experienced the bottom life , People with clear goals are more valuable for investment.”

"What do you think, Mr. Victor. I'm Ryan Meredith from Noxus." Ryan held out his hand to Victor.

"Ryan Meredith, the legendary Adjutant of Blood Mist... I didn't expect to see you in person." Victor's face was surprised, he reached out and shook hands with Ryan before letting go.

This is Piltover, and no matter how much he wants to come to Noxus, he won't find him in the banquet hall to fight with this disability.

"Adjutant of Blood Mist, a nostalgic title. Those Ionians think I am more bloodthirsty than demons, but unfortunately I am just protecting myself." Ryan spread his hands helplessly.

"I really never thought that one day someone like you would be approached by a big man like you. Mr. Meredith means he wants to invest in me?" Victor's face was not very interested, he just replied in a formulaic manner.

"Listening to Mr. Victor's tone, I don't seem to be very interested. Unfortunately, I wanted to use magic to show you your body, or to talk about how to apply Hex to the people's livelihood industry." Ryan's face was filled with regret, about to turn away.

"Wait a minute! Mr. Meredith."

Ryan paused and took a glass of wine from the waiter's hand:

"Call me Ryan, your talent is worthy of respect."

"Your Excellency Ryan... What you said before about magic, hex and people's livelihood..." Victor coughed twice, breathing a little short, as if the drowning person caught the straw for survival.

He was born in the lower city of Zaun, and his body is already weak. Coupled with the close contact with the industrial waste water and turbid air of Zaun, it is a miracle that he can survive to this day.

It's not that he hasn't tried the treatment, but it doesn't work at all, even if he uses hex technology, he doesn't see any hope of surviving.

Looking at his expression, Ryan couldn't help feeling that Heaven was jealous of Yingcai, he raised the wine glass in his hand and said:

"Literally, drink this glass of wine, I think you will like it."

Just as Victor wanted to apologize and said that his body couldn't stand alcohol, he saw Ryan's right hand lit up with a dark blue light, and a mysterious rune was embedded in the drink.

He had seen that rune when he was researching Hextech, and it seemed to mean "net".

This time, he did not refuse, but took the wine glass curiously and stared at the dark blue liquid inside.

"The magic is really exquisite, far better than the shock of Hextech." Victor sighed.

"It's just a shoddy magic potion." Ryan disagreed. "At most, it can delay the deterioration of your body. If you really want to recover, you have to make more preparations."

"That's enough, thank you very much for your help."

Victor didn't doubt either, he drank the potion from the cup with a smile.

The liquid was flowing in his body with warmth, and he felt that every cell in the body was rhythmically, jumping...

It seems that in ten years, Victor has never felt that his body can be so full of vitality, like a dying old man rejuvenated.

"This...this...the effect is incredible." Victor's hands were shaking slightly with excitement, and his face was full of incredible colors.

The hex they studied was a technological invention based on magic. He thought that hex was no longer inferior to magic. But it turns out that the two, at least from now on, are far from each other.

"Thank you again for your gift."

Victor stood up and bowed deeply to Ryan.

He is not afraid of death, but he wants to at least fulfill his wish before he dies. Originally, he was desperate. Heimerdinger denied his and Jace's research, and his body could hardly hold it anymore.

Unexpectedly, all this seems to have ushered in the dawn.

Victor raised his head, looked at Ryan carefully, and asked tentatively:

"Your Excellency Ryan, did you say that Hextech is used for people's livelihood?"

"You should know about Noxus. Although it occupies the largest land in the center of Valoran, due to some historical reasons, most of the land in the empire is desert, and ordinary technology can't bring it back to life."

"I have heard of it, so Noxus will continue to launch wars and plunder the resources needed for survival." Victor nodded in understanding.

Born in Zaun, he can understand this feeling. The living environment of people in the lower city is not better than that of Noxians. If you want to survive, you can only fall into darkness.

From there he swore an oath to use his knowledge to change Zaun and make Zaun as rich as Piltover.

Ryan's words resonated in his heart. He is happy to discuss these kinds of issues with each other.

"Victor, with your knowledge, how many options are there to improve the environment in Noxus." Ryan suddenly turned to ask.

"Well...about three."

Victor thought for a while, then raised three fingers.

Ryan showed an attitude of listening and made a gesture of please.

"The best and easiest way, as Noxus is doing." Victor said seriously, "War! Plunder resources from other regions."

"To cure the symptoms but not the root cause, the essence still needs support from other regions. With the growth of the population, dissatisfaction between regions will intensify, unless the war continues to control the population." Ryan shook his head.

It's something Noxus has always done, but it's also something he and his old boss don't want to do. The power of the empire should be concentrated on doing more meaningful things, rather than being consumed by some meaningless war.

"The other two methods are to fundamentally improve the deserts of Noxus." Victor said in a serious tone, "Technology and magic."

"I underestimated the power of magic before. There are quite a few mages in Noxus. With the magic ability displayed by Lord Ryan, they can completely purify the entire Noxus."

Originally, when he studied Hex, he knew clearly that Hex technology was just a substitute for magic, and it was to enable ordinary people to use magic.

Now that he has personally experienced Ryan's amazing magic, he feels that the existing hex invention is still a long way from the real magic, which is also the direction he will study in the future.

"Magic can indeed do it, but it is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and it is necessary to form a team of mages for energy maintenance. The value that a magist can create is far greater than doing these things, and the empire will not agree to this proposal." Ryan shook regretfully. Shaking his head.

Whether it is the incompetent emperor today, or his old boss who is extremely wise and rational, he will not allow a powerful and rare mage to do these things.

"That can only be the use of technology." Victor said here, and understood Ryan's intention to find him.

"You want to use hex technology to change the land of Noxus? I don't think Piltover will hand over the hex technology." Victor is not optimistic about this.

He actually wants to help Noxus, not only because Noxus is very similar to the Zaun he was born, but also because it will provide him with a lot of data support for restoring the ecology of the lower city.

But unfortunately, in his expectation, Piltover and Jess will definitely not agree to hand over this technology, even if it is only used to improve people's livelihood, in order to save more people.

"Hahaha, Victor, don't underestimate Noxus."
