I'm in Demacia, I just became a mage

It was precisely because of the attitudes of these families that the Piltover guards did not pay too much attention to these theft cases, and only treated them as ordinary cases.
But Kaitlyn, who was the sheriff of the Piltover, was acutely aware of something amiss.
Her intuition told her that this was not an ordinary theft—it was really strange. Many family workshops had been stolen in a very short period of time. There had never been such a high frequency of crimes in history.
She'd tried to find connections in stolen parts and blueprints, but couldn't figure it out, but she was sure there must be something in the dark.
Are they trying to cover up something with these unconnected thefts?
Caitlin has been thinking about this issue these days. The people she caught before were very hard-spoken. Her partner Wei almost beat up the thieves, but they all refused to tell the truth. Do not admit any intersection with each other.
She found that continuing to arrest people in this way would only mislead the detection of the case, so she secretly had a plan in her heart, and decided to start the layout in this theft case.
There is also a reason why she chose this case to start her plan.
What was stolen this time was a confidential Hex technology related to airtight material design of the Philos family. Compared with the previous dozen or so theft cases, the importance was not the same.
This is a key technology, and it is precisely because of its importance that Caitlyn's goal can be achieved.
The more important the stolen item, the more likely the case will make major progress. If it's just a general screw design, her plan may not work as expected.
"Caitlin, why did you stop me before, let him run into the Clockwork Pedestrian Street, there are so many people, it's hard to catch." Mo Han complained looking at the pedestrian street with people coming and going.
Caitlin glanced at him, but didn't explain anything. This former partner was always slow to react.
"Take someone to the nearest scream elevator and the Hex pressure delivery machine on the side of Airdrop Street to guard. The border market has been blocked by us. If he wants to go back to Zaun, he can only go to those two places. Others People come with me."
Caitlin looked at the direction in which the thief was escaping, said to him, and then rushed into the intersection of Clockwork Walking Street with a few Picheng guards.
On her shoulder is a Hextech Seiko sniper rifle, a birthday gift from her father on her 21st birthday. It is accurate and deadly, with powerful firepower and excellent armor-piercing performance. The bullet is in the chamber and the safety is on. It's ready to fire anytime.
But she wasn't going to bring that little thief to justice so early before she achieved her goal.
Due to the geographical location of the giant city of Piltover, Clockwork Walking Street is not a flat street, but has a slope. Caitlin looked down from the top of the pedestrian street, and could clearly see the crowd The fleeing figure.
But in the following scene, she showed a slightly surprised expression - the little gangster had a conflict with a tall, strong young man wearing a black top hat.
Good skill.Caitlin watched the young man accurately knock down the thief with the alchemy enhancement with his cane, and commented in her heart.
Then she first said to one of the Picheng guards under her opponent: "Jike, go and tell Muhan that there is no need to guard the pressure conveyor."
Then she pretended to chase after her with all her strength, and when she got there, the little gangster had disappeared, leaving only the young man who knocked him down just now and was about to leave.
Caitlin's light blue eyes scanned the young man, and an irrepressible amazement slowly rose from the bottom of her heart.
Although he looked very haggard and sluggish, it was hard to reduce his appearance, but added a touch of melancholy temperament, looking forward, and the stars fell in it.
Caitlin wondered a little in her heart, and then habitually began to analyze his identity through the information revealed by his appearance.
It looked like an Ionian, and the suit was expensive, but it was strange that his personal hygiene was so bad-Ionians liked cleanliness very much.
Caitlin had noticed the suitcase in his hand and his slightly sluggish but slightly uplifted expression before, and guessed in her heart that this person might have taken a long boat to get here.
The nearest pier here is near the Sea of the Conqueror, so it's unlikely to be from Ionia.
An Ionian came to Piltover from the opposite direction from the land of Ionia, except for a merchant, he could only be a traveler or an explorer.
But he doesn't have the shrewd look of a businessman, and if he is a businessman, he must have his own caravan and fleet to trade in Piltover by boat for so long.
The basis for this judgment is that small merchants trade far seas with little profit and great risk, and that they generally cannot find ships willing to load them.
So if he was a merchant, he had to be a big merchant, who had just arrived in Piltover, and he was supposed to be at the docks supervising workers loading and unloading his cargo.
So he is not a businessman, and neither is an explorer. An explorer does not wear such clothes that are inconvenient for field work. The most important thing is that his hands and skin do not look like they have undergone field exercises...
Only travelers, rich travelers... or scholars.Caitlin noticed his politeness and his peculiar bookishness when he greeted those around him.
Just like those academics at Piltover University of Technology.Hmm, a bit sharper than them, so a wild scholar?
She observed for a few seconds, quickly came up with some information, and then immediately stopped him.
"Wait! You stop...the scruffy Mr. Ionia in the outdated black double-breasted suit and black top hat, please stand still!"
calls me?Sloppy?Levi was stunned by Caitlin's voice, the damn description made him feel ashamed to dig a gap with his foot and then shrink down to get in.
"You can't say that about someone who's just been on a voyage for over two months. No one wants that."
He looked back at the ADC who was walking towards him, "And, ma'am, I don't remember breaking Piltover's laws."
Do you dare to say the word lady?Still too young.The surrounding Piltover guards secretly shook their heads.
Difficulties will befall those who speak inappropriately.
Sure enough, Caitlin made what they expected the next moment.
"You have had some contact with our fugitive just now. First of all, the Piltover guards want to commend your heroism, but at the same time, you are obliged to assist us in solving the case. We need to collect the criminal suspect information you have, so please Come with us to Piltover Justice Hall - just to make a note."
Caitlin said as a matter of routine, and then added: "This regulation is mentioned in the "Piltover Constitution" on the obligations of citizens."
"But I'm not a citizen of Piltover, I just got here."
Li Weisi frowned slightly, he felt that things were a bit troublesome, he
I don't want to get into a game just after arriving in Piltover. Although it's just a record, it's bad luck after all.
How come I seem to have an indissoluble bond with the bureau.
And now he is anxious to find a place to live, take a good bath and then have a good sleep.
Levi had never been able to rest well on the boat, even when he slept he was groggy.
"The "Piltover Constitution" stipulates that foreigners residing in Piltover should also fulfill corresponding obligations." Caitlin said with a smile.
"Miss Police Officer." Li Weisi looked embarrassed, and said in a pleading tone: "Can't you accommodate me? I have something urgent."
Caitlin's light blue eyes were crystal clear, and she blinked: "Your expression is very good, and so is your tone. I like it very much. Can you perform that one again?"
"Uh, are you still coming?" Li Weisi felt something was wrong.
"Yes, that's it."
What's wrong.Li Weisi thought in his heart, but he still asked again with a smile, but his mood became more and more irritable.
"Okay, so I can go?" He thought it was over.
But she didn't expect the woman in front of her to change her face the next moment: "Who said you can leave?"
Li Weisi's heart skipped a beat: "Didn't you just say—"
"I told you to perform, but I didn't say to let you go. I have no right to let you go. This is the rule." Caitlin pursed her lips into a smile.
Then you fucking said no?Are you kidding me here?
Li Weisi reacted immediately, he pursed his lips tightly, his face was livid, and he was speechless.
He can also be considered to have experienced the depression of the ADC who used to be in line with Caitlin under him. Bullying people with range is not the same as Caitlin, who is now a local sheriff, bullying the newcomer himself with the status of a local snake. of?
However, considering that he was new here, it would not be a wise move to offend the local police, so Levi took a slightly trembling deep breath to suppress his irritable emotions.
I can bear it.
The guards of Picheng watched the whole process blankly, and all shook their heads secretly in their hearts. Isn't there something wrong with this? ——They all thought it was Levi's address that made Caitlin grab him.
"Thank you for your cooperation. Although your clothes are very old-fashioned and scruffy, but-"
She gave the surrounding Piltover guards a wink, and the burly policemen in blue uniforms slapped their hands on Levi's shoulder with suppressed smiles: "Let's go sir, it's just a record."
The corners of Kaitlyn's mouth curled up slightly: "—the hat is nice."
This ridicule, coupled with Caitlin's expression, made Levi's couldn't help it.
Is that your attitude of asking me to cooperate with you?This sarcastic tone, this seemingly sarcastic expression, am I your prisoner?
To change the usual, he also understood and cooperated, arresting criminal suspects, making a record, what's the big deal?
But maybe it was because of the long-term voyage that Li Weisi had been holding back the anger for a long time, and now when he encountered this matter—the most important thing was that she was deliberately trying to trick her.
Li Weisi's anger rose immediately, but she was able to suppress it before, but her words immediately turned into sparks that ignited the powder keg.
Although she is one of the heroes he likes, Li Weisi is not used to her. He decided to temporarily put away his etiquette and become a Zaun madman.
Li Weisi first glanced at Caitlin, looked him up and down very impolitely, and said with a sneer, "You think your clothes look good? The disastrous blue and green, do you have any common sense of aesthetics? Where did the village girl come from?" ?”
I am super!So brave!
The Piltover guards around him were dumbfounded.
"There's also a hat, the pattern is so ugly that I'm embarrassed to say, wearing a useless gear accessory makes you look very advanced?"
"The deadliest thing is to chase the prisoner wearing a dress? High heels? Do you have any basic police literacy? Sir, you are not a clerk, you are the operator who catches the prisoner, Sheriff? Don't laugh so hard, those who don't know think you Come here to walk the red carpet."
Caitlin didn't even react to this series of verbal attacks. She was thinking about the follow-up actions when she suddenly heard the words from Levi's mouth, and she was a little dazed.
After Li Weisi finished speaking, she stopped and remained silent for a second. She looked back at Li Weisi calmly, her brows slightly frowned.
It's just to let him cooperate, not to go to jail, so it is necessary to make such a big fuss?
Caitlin was also a little annoyed. She was puzzled at first, and then she noticed his exhausted appearance from the corner of her eyes. The word exhaustion was almost written on that pretty face, and she understood a little bit in her heart.
She began to regret it a little. Originally, according to Caitlin's tutoring, she would never say such sarcastic language in front of a non-criminal stranger.
It's just that these days, because of the case, she has been upset, and inadvertently used the attitude towards those Zaun gangsters on this Ionian scholar.
Her lips smacked several times, but in the end she didn't say anything else, she just pursed her lips and said, "Take this gentleman back to the Justice Hall, make a record and let him go."
Caitlin's tone softened, which caught Levi's a little off guard, but she had already softened her attitude, so Levi didn't say anything more.
The reason why he suddenly
However, the main reason for his uncharacteristically angry anger was that he was dissatisfied with Caitlin playing with him, and after sitting on the boat for more than two months, his mentality was a little irritable, and he was eager to find a place to rest first.
The main reason is the latter. As soon as he landed, he wanted to eat something delicious, take a bath, and then take a good rest. The kind of long-term boat ride—especially the mental and physical pain brought by this kind of extremely poor condition of the merchant ship. The exhaustion is too hard.
For more than two months, Li Weisi had accumulated too many negative emotions in his heart. He felt that it was a miracle that he could bear it, and he urgently needed to comfort himself with a comfortable life.
But at this time, this kind of thing happened, and the outbreak was a matter of course.
It's like some people can smile when they are under tremendous pressure and negative emotions, but just squeeze too much toothpaste when washing, which can make them collapse.
Under the superposition of emotions, sometimes it only takes a small setback or other inexplicable things to make people lose control.
But in the eyes of outsiders, it is a bit inexplicable, and they may even think that this person is sick.
