Battle of the Two Cities: Begins with the Mage

Jace stood on the podium with a green and shy expression on his face:

"Well, I know that many people here will be surprised to see that I am here to speak tonight. To be honest, I am just like you."

In the front row of the podium, Ryan, dressed in traditional Noxian red aristocratic costume, leaned on the back of the chair and said softly to Katerina next to him:

"Piltover's rising star, Jess Tallis. He is known as a promoter who can advance Piltover and human civilization."

Jace stood on the podium, his eyes focused on the mother in the first row below, and he narrated:

"I come from an ordinary family. The factory in my family makes hammers. Maybe the floor tiles under your feet were knocked out with my hammer. No one has ever had any hope for me in my life."

Katerina listened to Jace's speech with disapproval in her eyes: "The flaw is too big, even if he can change the world, that's the future. I'm confident to solve him within 10 seconds."

Ryan said dumbly: "Don't always use force to measure a person's achievements. We in Noxus are not only warriors. Whether it is politics, scientific research, strategy or business, a skill can earn our respect."

"But I didn't see his extraordinaryness. He was more like a politician who commended his achievements, and he had the same virtue as the nobles in the immortal fortress."

Listening to Jace's rhetoric about the changes made by Hextech, Katerina had a look of disgust on her face. She hates formalism. Soldiers fight on the battlefield, and scientists should study in the laboratory. This is her personal opinion.

Ryan looked at the high-spirited Jace above, with uncertainty and hesitation in his tone:

"From the tone and the wording, he should have rarely experienced such occasions. But he is trying to adapt and enjoy it. I have not seen what he looked like when he studied, but from today's performance, he has Born with a talent for speaking, he is very suitable for being a leader.”

At this time, Jace happened to narrate the climax. His right index finger pointed on the wooden podium, making a dull sound, arousing everyone's fiery emotions aroused by him.

With solemnity on his face:

"It is precisely because of the various changes brought about by Hextech that today's moment is particularly extraordinary!"

Jace pointed out the window at the towering building that was lit up like a cloud and glowed with hex blue light:

"A few years ago, Hexfield brought the world together and made Piltover more prosperous than anyone could have imagined."

With his arms outstretched, the Piltover crowd cheered unsympathetically, as if celebrating the evolution of Piltover.

On the contrary, the two of Ryan seemed out of place in such a scene.

"False prosperity." Katerina looked disdainful.

"Wouldn't it be nice to immerse them in it? Noxus doesn't participate in their operations, but the revenue is far more than Picheng. It must be said that it is a kind of irony." Ryan smiled.

Undoubtedly, the more Piltover made, the more Noxus was funded. Of course, these nobles will not earn less, and Mrs. Piltover's life can also be slightly changed, almost winning.

To say that the only unfavorable group is the people who live in the lower city. The gap between the rich and the poor and the upper city have further widened. Nominally, they are considered to be a family in a city, but if they really want to divide resources, they are not a group anymore.

Ryan looked backstage, and could vaguely see the figure holding a cane.

With the cooperation of Victor, Zaun and Lady Piltover, Piltover ushered in development, and what did Zaun get?

The corners of Ryan's mouth rose slightly, as if looking forward to it.

Jess's speech is still going on. After the small climax just now, it is an important part of this year's technology demonstration:

"The exploration is still going on. We have prepared something new for you this year. This batch of inventions..."

Speaking of this, everyone noticed that there was a visible hesitation on Jace's face.

"The most important link, he actually went wrong, what is he hesitating about?" Katerina raised her brows.

"Remember Victor's conversation with us at the banquet?" Ryan didn't show the slightest surprise.

"Victor... At that time he said that Heimerdinger denied their invention." Katerina suddenly looked at a seat in the first row with enlightened eyes.

A short, yellow-haired man sat on a chair. He is Heimerdinger, the founder of Pi City. But his mood was clearly not at all good at the moment, staring gloomily at Jace.

Katerina took her eyes back, and there was an interesting look on her face:

"The new and the old collide... Your Excellency, how do you think Jace will choose?"

Ryan tapped the back of the chair with his knuckles, and said succinctly: "From what he said in the previous sentence, it has been proved that he is nothing more than that. To choose means to lose, and he has made a choice for the topic of win-win."

"Perhaps the scientist was thinking about the danger of the invention and didn't realize the seriousness of the problem." Katerina sneered.

She had noticed that when Jace was hesitating, all Piltover MPs didn't look good.

Jace struggled for a while, then took a deep breath and solemnly promised:

"The new technology will be shared with you as soon as possible... Waiting for the technology to mature."

Feeling the disappointment of the people below, he hurriedly added:

"In the vision of my partner Victor, once this technology is completed, whether it is the children of high-level families or the laborers living in the bottom city, everyone will be free from hard labor."

At this moment, he hadn't noticed that Viktor, who had been waiting in the backstage to show off the new technology, was not disappointed, but a kind of relief from letting go.

And Mel, who was below, stood up with a gloomy face, and took the butler out of the venue first.

At the same time, Jess is still eloquently reciting his promise to the future:

"We vow to keep seeking and live up to our reputation as a city of progress."

"Our future is bright!"

Following Jace's sonorous and powerful words, grand fireworks exploded in mid-air, and through the transparent glass, one could feel the beauty of the sky filled with fireworks of various colors.

The audience enjoyed the fireworks, immersed in the beauty of the fireworks and the promise made by Jace.

Most people believe that Jace will lead Piltover to become more prosperous.

Katerina retracted her gaze and said regretfully:

"He chose to compromise, and sooner or later, he will hurt himself and Piltover because of looking ahead."

"For him, this is already the best ending." Ryan shook his head and expressed his opinion: "It not only follows Heimerdinger's advice, but also leaves expectations for everyone. Mel made it clear and saved her friendship."

He didn't know what Mel and Jace had privately talked about before, but judging from Mel's angrily leaving the venue, it was supposed to demonstrate the new hex technology tonight, but Jace chose to give up.

But Ryan knew in his heart that Mel was a smart person, and as long as Jace was still valuable, she would take the initiative to repair the relationship.

In comparison, the talent and value of another person are not bad, and they are more worthy of his expectation.

Ryan glanced meaningfully at the backstage of the lecture hall, got up and left the venue with Katerina.

The plan couldn't keep up with the changes. Perhaps it won't be long before the Noxus embassy welcomes its first guest.
