Please call me CyberGhost King

Chapter 449 Patron Saint

"Is there no ending that doesn't require someone to sacrifice?"

Vander had a complicated expression; these results were obviously not what he wanted.

"Isn't it now?"

Facing Vander's question, Ke Ling answered very calmly, which made Vander stunned for a moment, and then he suddenly reacted.

Yes, isn’t it now?
He stopped Wei, Boom, Milo, Craig and their plan to steal the "Original Hex Crystal", and nothing will happen again.

"But you still took the original Hex Crystal."

Vander was delighted at first, then he realized that although Wei, Boom, Milo, and Craig did not steal those "original hex crystals", Ke Ling did!

Having lost such an important thing, the Gilaman family will definitely be anxious and will definitely put pressure on the Piltover Guard. Will the outcome of the matter really change?
"It's my business if I took it. What does it have to do with you?"

Ke Ling was speechless, and Vander was obviously a little confused. It was indeed a bit difficult for his brain to take in so much information at once.

His "Super Dream Experience Device" does not have a 1:1 time flow rate, but rather speeds up the time. It is the true "crystallization of cyber technology". Based on the "Super Dream" technology, it also incorporates some of the "Soul Killer" methods that act on memory and soul.

Vander, Milo, Craig and others were able to experience everything in just a dozen hours, and it was all so real, as if they had really experienced it themselves, all thanks to the effect of the "Soul Killer". It has become a memory engraved in their souls that they can never forget.

"."

Vandal reacted and realized that the main reason why the "Piltover Guard" came to put pressure on him and set their target on "Zaan" was because Vi, Boom, Mello, and Craig had revealed their tracks and left some clues.

And now, Wei, Baobao, Milo and Craig didn't go. Even if Ke Ling left clues, it wouldn't lead back to them. Just like Ke Ling said, this matter has nothing to do with them anymore.

Moreover, Fandel felt that with Coling's strength, he would definitely not leave any clues. The law enforcement officers of the "Piltover Guard" must be as anxious as headless flies now, because they can't find any clues at all.

Yes, it was just as Fandel thought.

After the "Original Hextech Crystal" was lost, the "Piltover Guard" immediately took action, but their actions had just begun when they were stuck in a dead end.

They couldn't find any clues. The thing seemed to have disappeared out of thin air. No one except the owner of the room, Jace Tallis, had entered Jace Tallis's room. Everything was intact, except the thing was gone.

Therefore, Jace Tallis undoubtedly became the key to solving the case.

Although this "original hex crystal" itself belongs to Jace Tallis, he used this thing as a research project and obtained funding from the Gilaman family. This thing no longer belongs to him alone, and it also involves the interests of the Gilaman family.

"That's all I know."

Jace Tallis held his head, trying hard to recall what happened before, but he really had no recollection. He just went out to find some information, and when he came back, the things were gone, and he didn't see anyone go in.

"."

The law enforcement officers of the Piltover Police were troubled by this answer. Jace Tallis was the person who reported the case, and he had no motive to act out the whole thing himself. His confusion didn't seem like an act.

"That's it for now. If you remember any news, be sure to tell us."

There was no choice but for the law enforcement officers to let Jace Tallis go back first. They had only wanted to ask him some questions, not arrest him.

Jace Tallis was the one who reported the case, and although they had some suspicions, they had no evidence to prove that he staged the incident himself, so there was naturally no reason to arrest him.

Jace Tallis left the police station in a daze. This once handsome young talent seemed to have aged by a dozen years in the past two days. His life was over.

Of course, this is a bit of an exaggeration. We can only say that he has temporarily lost his future direction. With his intelligence and talent, even if he changes his research direction, he will definitely be able to achieve some results.

However, having lost the key props, his ambition to continue developing "Hextech" might not be realized.

"Jace, cheer up, we're going to find your stuff."

At the entrance of the police station, Caitlin Gillaman was waiting for Jace Tallis.

Looking at the dejected Jace Tallis, Caitlin Gilaman said some words of comfort. She and Jace Tallis were good friends, and she was also sad to see the once high-spirited Jace Tallis become like this.

"Hopefully."

In response to Caitlin Gilaman's comfort, Jace Tallis sighed and forced a smile.

To be honest, he didn't think that the eldest daughter of the Jilaman family could understand his feelings. They were completely different.

"Maybe you can focus on other things for a while."

Caitlin Gilaman didn't know what Jace Tallis was thinking. She enthusiastically gave Jace Tallis an idea. Since the things he wanted to study were lost, he might as well study something else. She felt that with Jace Tallis's ability, he would be able to study anything.

"."

Jace Tallis didn't answer. He didn't want to talk about this issue, at least not at this stage.

"Primal Hex Crystal"

Jace Tallis sighed. This was something that could only be found by chance. After years of excavation and use in Piltover, the "Hex Crystals" had long been consumed. What they were using now were "synthetic Hex Crystals", which were not worth studying at all.

At this stage, the use of "Hex Crystals" in "Piltover" is still very primitive. Jace Tallis thinks there is a lot of potential in this, and his "original Hex Crystals" are very important and the key to his realization of his life value. However, now the things are lost, and there is no clue.
At this time, Jace Tallis was thinking, if he had lived a few hundred years ago, if he had lived in the era when "Hex Crystal" was just discovered, he would definitely be able to do better than those predecessors and would definitely be able to lead "Piltover" to a higher level.

Jace Tallis is a native Piltover man who was taught the fundamental principles of his city's progress: "Invent, discover. And stay as far away from Zaun as possible."

Jace Tallis has an unparalleled talent in mechanical engineering. He is the youngest apprentice ever sponsored by the Gilaman family, and his talent is enough to break the shackles of age and qualifications.

The business families of "Piltover" will provide generous financial support to talented apprentices, fund their research, and then use them for their own purposes. Even some lucky "Zaan" geniuses will be funded, allowing them to rise to the top and live in the upper city.

Being able to receive funding from the "business family" is, in a sense, a recognition of their talent. Other apprentices have to go through interviews and pass tests before they can be funded, but Jace Tallis is the one that is fought over by the "business families", which is enough to show how talented he is.

The reason why the Gilaman family paid so much attention to Jace Tallis and believed that he could really make groundbreaking discoveries in the field of Hextech technology, and allowed him to study those "original Hextech crystals" himself, was because he showed a talent that was high enough to make others pale in comparison.

Jace Tallis created many prototypes of Hextech equipment. He also designed many transformable multi-functional tools for the working class of "Piltover", such as a wrench that can be transformed into a crowbar, a mattock that can be transformed into a shovel, and a hammer that can be transformed into a blasting energy cannon.

Let's just say that anything that Jace Tallis has touched, anything that Jace Tallis has modified, can make his peers feel ashamed and amazed.
For true geniuses, most things are easy to learn and master. They don't understand why something that is obviously simple is so difficult for others to understand.

So at certain times, these geniuses would appear so arrogant and conceited that they would not take others seriously, just like Jace Tallis now. He didn't even consider Caitlin Gilaman, he only thought about his own affairs.

"Do your parents regret not taking the original Hex Crystal?"

Jace Tallis asked, which made Caitlin Gillamaine stunned, and then the young lady's expression turned angry.

"Jace! What are you talking about? Do you think my parents are like that? Do you think we would covet your things?"

Caitlin Gillamaine asked. She was very angry and even felt that Jace Tallis was a little unreasonable.

She knew that the loss of things made Jace Tallis very upset, but this was not a reason for him to have such thoughts. The Gilaman family did not give up on him, nor did they blame him. Instead, they tried to help him, but what did they get? It was his doubt.

"."

Jace Tallis didn't say anything, but his attitude had already disappointed Caitlin Gillaman. She left quickly and no longer paid attention to Jace Tallis, leaving this young talent distraught.

"."

Jace Tallis opened his mouth. He knew he had screwed up again. In fact, he had never had many friends. Anyone who approached him would eventually go their separate ways for various reasons.
how to say?

Jace Tallis was not willing to admit that he had a problem.

In the "Shadow Realm", Ke Ling held the "Original Hex Crystal" and observed this thing. It was a very powerful source of energy.

It's not just an "energy source", it's also a "medium" that can mobilize "magic power". In "Piltover", they use "Hex Crystal" as a simple energy source, so their method of use is very primitive.

Therefore, the current "Piltover" is indeed still a technological force, and after Jace Tallis activated the "Original Hextech Crystal", "Piltover" also began to use the power of "magic", which is the real use.

"In a sense, the original Hextech crystal is also a rune, but it is not actually a world rune. The power of this thing is not as strong and violent as the world rune. It does not symbolize the extreme power like the world rune, but a certain regular power. This original Hextech crystal can mobilize a large amount of magic power."

Ke Ling poked the "Original Hextech Crystal". This thing was not very stable. Only after Jace Talis and Victor stabilized it could they truly apply its power.

"Instability has its advantages. It can also be used as a bomb."

Ke Ling smiled, then directly absorbed all of these "original hex crystals". He felt the wonder of this thing.

"Sigh~"

Ke Ling took a breath. The function of this "original hex crystal" was indeed as he thought. It had magical effects.

"Buzz!"

Ke Ling returned to the "Rune Land". As soon as he entered this world, he immediately felt a different feeling from before. The magic of the entire "Rune Land" seemed to be waving to him. As long as he wanted, he could mobilize the magic of this world.

"Buzz!"

Ke Ling waved his hand and a powerful wave of magic spread out, vibrating a long distance. Its power was much stronger than the explosion of the "Hex Crystal". It was because he was suspended high above the sea, otherwise this huge explosion would be enough to cause great harm to the people of Piltover and Zaun.

"No obvious attributes."

Ke Ling felt it and found that the magic power he mobilized was very pure and primitive, and it was not transformed into any other special elemental properties, so this thing could be used as a universal energy core to provide energy for the entire "Piltover".

"call!"

Ke Ling was feeling the power brought by the absorbed "Hex Crystal" when suddenly a strong wind swept up over the sea.

Ke Ling looked into the gust of wind and saw a beautiful woman in white clothes, holding a staff in her hand, floating in it. The gust of wind was like a child around her, blowing past her body without causing any harm.

"Janna."

This mysterious woman who manipulates the element of wind is naturally the patron saint of the city of "Zaan". She has protected this city for countless years. Some people have forgotten her, but some still remember her.

"Stranger, what brings you to Zuan?"

Janna spoke, her voice was ethereal, as if floating in the wind. The patron saint of Zaun actually often appeared in Zaun, bringing comfort to some devout believers.
