In the gray fog of the night, with the sound of the mechanical scepter beating on the ground, Victor walked out slowly, stood on the other side of the bridge, and looked at his former partner calmly.
"I'm here to join forces with you, Victor."
Jess looked at his former partner and best friend, hesitated for a moment, but still mustered up the courage to speak out his thoughts
"I...I support Zaun in getting his justice!"
Victor should have been happy to hear the understanding from his former best friend.But he was very calm, his face under the steel mask did not change at all
"So, what kind of justice can you bring me?" Victor said calmly and almost indifferently
"You can stop the war, I will unite with Mel and Professor Heimerdinger to let the parliament pass the labor bill for Zaun, we will give Zaun a fair environment, and help you clean up the pollution, and then... .”
"You can't do it." Victor interrupted Jess and said indifferently
"Even if you are a member of Taris, you can't do this. Your resistance has never been your colleagues at the same table. Your resistance is the entire Piltover."
"If the decrees you mentioned are passed, if Zaun is no longer exploited by you, then the quality of life of the people of Piltover will plummet. Do you think your citizens will continue to support you by then? "
"They will understand, this is all for the prosperity of the twin cities!" Jess said excitedly
"Jess, you have never experienced the life of a commoner." Victor shook his head, as if sighing.
"You consider yourself to be a commoner, but not only does your family have a factory that produces hammers for all of Piltover, your best friend since childhood is even the daughter of Councilor Gilamann."
"You have never been a commoner, or you are just a commoner in the aristocratic circle. Your so-called closeness to the people is nothing but the self-righteous condescension of the young master."
Every word of Victor was like a knife in Jess's heart, saying that he would not reveal his shortcomings when he cursed, and the proud Jess was almost scolded back by Victor's provocation.
"Maybe so...but at least we should have a proper measure."
Jess breathed a sigh of relief and said in a deep voice
"No matter what you people of Zaun and us Mrs. Piltover think, after all, the two cities are both damaged and prosperous. What we should really fight against is the enemy outside the two cities."
"I mean, compared to our internal friction, uniting to deal with the hegemony of other countries is the most important thing to do!"
"...I don't disagree with your statement." Victor said lightly
But before Jess was happy, Victor continued:
"But how should the Zaun people's debts be calculated? You still can't convince those people to give up the bonus of exploiting us, Jess, do you know what are the deepest obsessions and thoughts of our bottom people?"
"If we are doomed to lose, then of course it is better to lose with those who exploit us than to lose alone. We would rather lose both than to lose only one!"
Obviously, the reality Victor talked about is another world that Jess has never touched.
Just like Victor said, this young master who claims to be a commoner has never been in contact with real low-level people. He has never experienced the days of waking up earlier than chickens and going to bed later than dogs every day, and he has never experienced being forced to go to bed every day. Working overtime every day and night, but the final labor income has to be exploited by more than half of the experience!
He will never be able to understand what the real bottom people think, rational?big picture?That never mattered, it's bullshit to anyone who has to worry about where to get their second meal!
That's right, isn't it?I would rather drag everyone to lose together than to lose only one of me!
"War is inevitable Jess." Victor said lightly
"Zuan needs a war to unite, and it needs war to vent the hatred and anger of the past century. I need war, and I need iron and fire to rebuild the backbone of my people."
"And you also need a failure, a heavy loss to transfer real benefits. I am not referring to those waste paper and metal blocks, I am referring to the real means of production!"
"Stop calling for peace here. Peace can't solve problems. Some things can only be solved with blood."
After all, Victor turned and left without hesitation, leaving only Jess with a pale face standing upright.
"A scientist who has been brainwashed by the concept of peace and gentleness since he was a child. People who flaunt rational thinking are actually the most difficult group of people to understand ordinary people." Yun Juan sat on the streetlight next to him, making comments leisurely
Jess' strength lies in his relentless pursuit of peace, but so does his weakness - he doesn't understand what war is necessary, what blood must be shed, he doesn't understand that things like humans are always irreparable. Only when you have to understand the true meaning of such a little bit of repentance.
But to be honest, with things developing to this point, all that Yun Juan had left was to watch the show.
He held up the shining hex core, his eyes were burning with the light of ambition.
The biggest purpose of this trip has been completed, and the next thing is just entertainment time.
......
"Please give me another chance, Mr. Camille, I really have to..."
Before the fat businessman could finish pleading, Camille cut his head open. Amidst the splashed blood and the screams of his family, Camille ordered indifferently:
"Seize all factories and shops under his name, and take all valuables in this villa to the foreclosure department."
The Philos special operations force beside her quickly carried out the order of Mrs. Gray, and as carloads of luxury goods and gold and silver treasures were shipped out of the villa, it indicated the bankruptcy of another Piltover entrepreneur.
As long as he is not blind, anyone can see that Camille is using his status as the supreme member of the special period to eliminate dissidents for the Philos family.
With the support of Noxus and the circumstances of the special period, the Gray Lady wiped out most of the merchants in Piltover that had had illegal transactions with Zaun.
Not only that, but she also eliminated many illegal people with disgraceful records, including scholars, newspaper editors, and even some scientists.
Gray Lady's method of dealing with lawbreakers is without exception to direct beheading.
Accurate, bloody, crazy, deadly!
No one would have imagined that the guardians who once sheltered Piltover in the shadows would be so extreme and cruel when they were exposed to the sun.
Undoubtedly, there are too many arrangements and dissatisfaction with Mrs. Gray, and Camille is well aware of this, but she doesn't care at all, whether she arranges her or secretly prepares to trip the Ferros family, these She can clean up everything hidden in the shadows when she turns around.
After all, she has been operating in the shadow of Piltover for decades, and those conspiracies that she thinks are hidden are as ridiculous as a child's raving in her eyes!
If the Noxus commander was willing to give everything for his enemy, then Camille was willing to give everything for Piltover!
In her opinion, this city-state has embarked on a deformed road of no return!
In the past, the science-based and business-assisted model has been completely subverted with the success of the research on the Hexagate in recent years, and now it has become a business-based and science-assisted model!
Of the eight seats in the Piltover Council, only one Heimerdinger and Jess who just took office belonged to scientists, and as soon as he became a councilor, those businessmen couldn't wait to come and corrupt Jess Taris.
Rather than promoting new technologies, they like to suppress new technologies and use old technologies to maintain their rule and monopoly. In their eyes, even the promotion of new technologies is only for more benefits and more oppression of ordinary people.
Camille knew very well that a country controlled by businessmen had no future.
Camille is clearly aware of how weak these people's bones are, and how crazy they are for profit.They can make decisions to hinder new technologies without hesitation, just to maintain their current monopoly and interests, shelve the new technologies that can change human beings, or use various dirty methods to seize them.
It is true that the prosperity of Piltover is based on commerce, but Camille will never allow commerce to override science!
However, there are some things that she, as the Philos family, cannot do secretly, and using the name of Noxus to wantonly cleanse the city-state is the best opportunity.
Many people were surprised by Camille's behavior. For example, Miss Caitlin of Gilaman's family tried to stop Camille's behavior over and over again.
As for these little birds who grew up in a honeypot and are full of benevolence and morality, Camille has never given any chance to fight back.
She directly used her power to kick Gilaman's family out of the emergency committee that could interfere with her normal operation, and at the same time showed that she had started to take action against the rest of the parliament.
Camille had probably already prepared a plan for today's action when she was a secret agent. She had a list in her hand, a list that could make Piltover purer if the above names were cleared.
But no matter what Camille thinks in her heart, her deeds fall into the eyes of others are undoubtedly brutal rule and bloody cleansing.
There are not many people who can see through Camille's thoughts, and there is no doubt that Mel Midarda is such a person.
And she is also the one who absolutely does not have to worry about being black-handed by Camille.
In any case, the biggest reliance on her ability to cleanse Piltover is the support of Noxus. Mel is equivalent to part of the empire's containment of Camille. Camille will not kill her but will protect her.
So facing the joint assassination plan proposed by several other families in the parliament, Mel rejected them without hesitation.
She really couldn't imagine what these frightened bird-like idiots who only knew how to do business were thinking!
Assassination?You say assassination to an agent who spent over 60 years guarding Piltover from the shadows?
The plan of these idiots is just to send Camille an excuse to purge them, and maybe that's what Camille wants!
"What the hell is that crazy woman trying to do?!"
Mel slammed the wine glass on the table angrily, and the cracks spread along the glass, but Mel, who was full of red wine, was still extremely angry
Yes, she understood Camille, she understood Camille, but she was still very unhappy.
There is no doubt that Camille's current cleaning operation is another slap in the face of Piltover, who was already seriously injured.
Piltover, who suffered heavy losses during the fighting between the two countries, urgently needs to divert the conflict. In Mel's opinion, it is most appropriate to push the problem to the Zaun people at this time!
Anyway, the brainwashing caliber of education for decades has been to push the fault to the rude and stupid city rats.
So no matter what happens at this stage, the most important thing should be how to deal with Zaun's next challenges.
There is no doubt that the sudden war between Noxus and Demacia has caused people's hearts to fluctuate. Camille's original plan to siege Zaun has been aborted. At this stage, it is difficult for both sides to prepare. The power to fight head-on.
But Camille put so much energy into internal cleaning, which made Mel wonder what she wanted to do.
She has to do something, Mel thought.It happened to be a good thing for Mel that her mother was leaving Piltover at noon today.
That crazy woman Camille lost the backing of Noxus, and although she still has the powerful background of the Philos family, she is not invincible.
Mel is confident that he can win more than five votes in the parliament, one for her, one for Jess, one for Caitlin, and one for Heimerdinger, and the rest of the councilors will vote even if they are scared by Camille. If she dared, she could get at least one ticket.
At that time, no matter how strong Camille is, he must make some concessions!
Thinking of this, Mel seemed to be in a better mood. She ordered her servants to come up and clean up the broken glass and wine stains on the table, but at this moment, her finger suddenly hurt. Frowning, a piece of broken glass pierced into her. palm of the hand.
Mel pulled out the broken glass, looked at the dripping blood, and suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.
57. The Explosion of Art
To make death full of drama, and to turn killing into a gorgeous performance, all these are what Jhin tirelessly pursues.
Although he didn't carve out many gorgeous and beautiful colors after entering the city, he secretly directed an interesting and vivid war scene.
It’s also an eye-catching artistic creation!
He doesn't care how much the twin cities or the world will change because of the drama he secretly arranged, he only cares how much the dramatic conflicts staged in reality make him happy. How many constructive ideas he brings with every aesthetic breakthrough and innovation.
And after personally guiding Jinx to start the Battle of Two Cities, Jhin quickly found his next target.
General Machia, the head of the Mirdard family, was also one of the main members who presided over the war of aggression against Ionia in the past.It can be said that every Ionian has a blood feud with her.
Even an artist like Jhin, who doesn't pay much attention to the feelings of family and country, knows her name well, and choosing her as a target is also a great joy.
On the one hand, her reputation is loud enough, as an 'actor' having popularity is a great weapon to attract attention, and on the other hand, Machia's personal relationship with Jhin is also full of dramatic conflicts.
Sending him into the abyss of death at a moment when he thinks he has won the happiest satisfaction of all the people, the dramatic conflict it brings is worth Jhin's painstaking planning!
A conspirator who thought he had tricked everyone and won the family's survival by provoking a war.But at the last moment, even everything was buried into the abyss of death, the big man who thought he was in control of everything, finally died under an unexpected attack.
This ironic ending made Jhin feel joy from the bottom of his heart.
Jhin, disguised as a stevedore at the Hexairport, chose to stand at the place with the best view to enjoy the drama he created.
For this conspiracy, he has been laying out since Jinx's missile.
In order to be able to appreciate the perfect art created by himself, Jhin will always complete this difficult task wholeheartedly, and just as he expected, his efforts will always be fully rewarded.
On Hexairport, the black and red airship belonging to Noxus is starting up, and Machia walked onto the red carpet with incomprehensible arrogance and pride just like when she came.
He came with a conspiracy and returned with a perfect fruit.
Knocking a man down from the highest peaks of hope to the lowest depths of hell is such an intriguing fantasy that, yes, Jhin can't wait.
The airship rose slowly, heading towards the azure vortex after the Hexgate opened, and Jhin couldn't help but let out a slight laugh under the mask.
He didn't do anything, he just slightly modified the parameters of the flying gate.
Hex technology is not difficult for Jhin, and a week is enough for him to learn the basics—not to mention, the so-called Hex is just the clumsy use of these Mrs. Piltover who don't understand the mysteries of magic. That's all.
The essence of Hextech is still magic, just simplified magic, even if it is dressed in the cloak of 'technology', it is still used by magic ad.
Or, in this world, magic itself is science.
The azure vortex gate shone with a faint light, and as the black-red airship slowly entered it, the vortex in the gate accelerated and rotated.
Jhin could hear the doubtful voices of the engineers not far away, and soon their doubts turned into panic.
The azure vortex of the Hexgate accelerated crazily, and the airship in it was twisted to the extreme like a stretched noodle!
"The end of art."
Jhin couldn't help laughing happily, and with that laughter, the entire Hexflight finally couldn't contain the huge energy field under the extreme overclocking acceleration——
boom! ! ! !
The terrifying magical energy was compressed and gathered, and finally turned into an extreme explosion that destroyed everything. Under the blue light that flattened the sky, only Jhin couldn't hold back his happy laughter.
......
Like a giant monster in the deep sea, the Naglfar slowly rises from the deep seabed. This terrifying and evil biological battleship made Galen and Xin Zhao standing on the beach hold their weapons tightly.
