Twin Cities: I am the man of many myths

Chapter 124: Hilco: Stupid Dog
The cold wind blew Hilco's hair. He squinted his eyes and looked at Li Ke with clenched fists.

"Hey, uncle, calm down. Come, sit down. Let's have a good chat after you sit down."

Taking a deep breath, Hilco asked the stall owner for a stool. The owner of the shop finally recognized who the three customers he had received early in the morning were. An excited expression appeared on his face and he looked at Li Ke.

He had thought Li Ke looked familiar, but he did not dare to recognize him because the Senator Li Ke in his memory was not that white, his skin was not that good, and his hair was much shorter.

The most important thing is that Councillor Li Ke is dead. This was announced by both cities. Both cities also made many statues to commemorate Councillor Li Ke. Therefore, the shop owner did not dare to recognize Li Ke at first.

But now that Congressman Hilco was seated, he understood!
"Senator Li Ke, weren't they all saying that you were dead? Is this our plan?" He spoke specifically to Li Ke as he brought the stool over.

"Plan? No, I did die, but I didn't succeed. Hey, accidents are unavoidable in life." Li Ke smiled at the shop owner and spoke.

Hilco took the stool and sat next to Jinx. As soon as he sat down, Jinx brought a bowl of frog meat and placed it in front of Hilco, saying happily, "Hilco, eat."

"." Looking down at the frog face facing him, the corners of Hilco's mouth twitched.

When he was in the most difficult time, he could only eat rat meat, and Hilco would never touch the part above the head. But now... looking at the frog head and Jinx's big smiling face, Hilco picked up the chopsticks with great difficulty.

"It's a bit complicated to explain. Anyway, Hilco, I did die once, but a friend of mine saved me. I slept in her place for a long time, and the first thing I did after waking up was to return to Zaun."

As Li Ke spoke, he naturally pushed the bowl of magic frog meat in front of him in front of Hilco.

"Fuck you, don't push everything on me."

What are you doing? I'm not blind!

He cursed, looked at Li Ke, and said seriously: "What about Jinx?"

"I will definitely go to find Jinx as soon as I come back. What are you thinking about?" Li Ke looked at Hilco helplessly as he pushed the frog meat back. When he heard him say that, he immediately shrugged and said.

"You came back yesterday?" Hilco narrowed his eyes. "And then, you didn't come to see me or Vander?"

"Yeah, that's right. Is there a problem? Am I not coaxing Jinx?" Li Ke blinked.

Hilco paused, then said angrily, "No problem, you should indeed go to Jinx first, so you know everything now?"

What Hilco was asking about was, of course, the injustices Jinx had suffered in the past year.

He had to let Li Ke know about this, so that he would be nicer to Jinx.

Li Ke nodded and said softly, "I already know almost everything I should know. Janna and Jinx have told me. But a year is too long. I will have to learn about some things in Zaun later. But it doesn't matter, Hilco. I will not leave Zaun again."

Hilco pushed the frog head to the bottom of the bowl and picked up a piece of frog meat to eat. The greasy and disgusting taste made it difficult for him to swallow the frog meat. Hearing this, he said, "Okay, come with me to a meeting later. I will call all the council members. This is a good opportunity for you to understand what happened in Zaun during the year you were away."

"No problem. I was planning to meet you at the Parliament Building after I had breakfast with Jinx and dropped Isa off at Victor's place."

Hilco nodded.

He had a lot of questions he wanted to ask Li Ke, but in the end, looking at Li Ke playing with Jinx, Hilco swallowed all those questions back into his stomach and just silently ate the unpalatable frog meat while watching Jinx interacting with Li Ke.

She smiled, but unlike the various fake smiles she had shown the year before, she was smiling happily now.

"By the way, Li Ke, where did you come back from?" Xierko suddenly asked.

"Ionia." Li Ke threw the frog legs that Jinx picked up for him back into her bowl. Jinx picked them up again and put them in Li Ke's bowl.

These two adults were already grown up, but they were enjoying themselves doing such childish things in front of Hilco.

"Ionia?" Hilco raised his eyebrows, as if he had thought of something: "Did you come back by boat?"

"Ah."

"Is it a Noxian ship?"

"Hey, Hilco, how did you know that?" Li Ke looked at Hilco in surprise.

"." Hilco rolled his eyes and said, "I understand."

So, the Ionian that Renata told him at that time, who destroyed the Noxian sea line and seized the Noxian ships, was Li Ke?
Oh, it’s a small world.

But to be honest, Hilco really doesn't know why Ionia is so proud of itself. Why can they compare with Li Ke?
Li Ke is from Zaun, not Ionian.

I hope our friends in Ionia can recognize this!
Hilco suddenly felt a little happy. When he was happy, he opened his mouth wider, so a large piece of frog meat got stuck in his throat and he started coughing violently.

"cough!"

Jinx quickly reached out and patted his back, saying unhappily, "You're so old, yet you're so careless that you can swallow your food like this. You know, Hilco and Isa wouldn't do that!"

Hilco didn't say anything, but just drank water with a depressed look.

7:30 in the morning, in the Parliament Building in Zaun.

At the long table of senators, Fandel, Scar, Marna, Heimerdinger and other senators were reminded by the sewer enforcer and invited by Hilco to arrive at the building half an hour early.

"Is there any new development in the Noai War?" "It's troublesome. If the war over there stops, then we must be prepared to go to war with the Noxians."

Heimerdinger put his hands on the table and said, "But our weapons are not ready yet. The Hextech rifle and Hextech protective energy shield developed by Jayce are very useful, but that thing can't deal with Noxians, right?"

"Magic technology is useless against them. To defeat them, we have to use Zaun's alchemical technology." Heimerdinger said one sentence after another.

Jayce, who was standing by, found Heimerdinger's words very funny and magical.
Under the influence of Zaun, Professor Heimerdinger has completely changed. Why does he feel a bit like a warmonger now?

Jace is here not because he is a Zaun senator. The exchange of senators between the two cities stopped several months ago. With more and more business cooperation, the two cities have become bound by interests. Now there is no need for a contract, and the people of the two cities have begun to cooperate.

Jayce came because instead of having banquets with the nobles in Upper City, it would be better to come to Zaun to drink with Ekko Victor.

Life in Zaan is really great.

He is very good at swearing now!
What do the great families of Piltover say about him behind his back?

Ah, Tallis, the king of foul language.

As one of the highest-ranking people in Piltover, when Jayce is not angry, he is a tall, handsome, elegant and gentle rich handsome man. But as soon as Jayce gets angry or anxious, he will talk about genitals when he opens his mouth, and "fuck you" when he closes his mouth.

Have the people of Piltover ever been scolded like this?

Therefore, even if Jayce didn't go back, they were happy for him to stay in Zaun.

"Regarding Noxus, I propose to completely cut off contact with Noxus. They have been purchasing ore and smelting iron from our Zaun. I think it's time to part ways with them." Jayce said in a deep voice.

When everyone heard him talking about Zaun, they didn't find it strange.

After all, Jayce's current image is very Zaun-like.

It's hard for a person to learn good things, but it's very easy to learn bad things.

Everyone can do backward compatibility.

"Even if the Noai War doesn't end this year, it will definitely end next year. We only have one year to prepare."

Janna sat on a book, blinking, and found that she couldn't get a word in.

"Jace is right. I think so too." Fandel nodded, and then said, "Silco called us all here, but where are the others?"

As he was speaking, the door of the conference room was pushed open by the law enforcement officers, and two law enforcement officers walked in and stood respectfully on both sides.

Then, Hilco walked in.

"Finally here." Vander said, then turned his head away and didn't look at Hilco.

He was still fighting with Hilco.

But Hillco didn't care and walked straight to his seat. Then he sat next to Vander.

"You are sitting in the wrong seat. Your seat is over there, Lord of Zaun." Vandel turned his big face to Hilko and said with narrowed eyes.

After Li Ke's death, Hilko became the new Lord of Zaun, but he only called himself that once. That was on the day Li Ke disappeared, when the Piltover senators arrived in Zaun. He said this in front of the senators.

From then on, Hilco never called himself the Lord of Zaun again.

However, he has always been in charge of all matters of Zaun, and all decisions in Zaun must be approved by him before they can be implemented.

Therefore, although Hilko no longer said that he was the Lord of Zaun, the people, parliamentarians, and management of Zaun all knew that Hilko was the current leader of Zaun.

As for the long table in the conference, the seat that originally belonged to the No. 1 congressman Li Ke was also occupied by Hilco.

After hearing what Fandel said, Hilco looked up and glanced at Fandel. His eyes were calm, but the corners of his mouth were raised, and he whispered a word: "Silly dog."

"You--" Vander was immediately angry, but then he was stunned. The nose on his big face moved, and joy appeared in his eyes.

"Did you find Jinx?" He smelled Jinx's scent, and then another one. Hey, why did this smell seem so strange and yet familiar?
Vander was confused. Without looking at Hilco, he turned his head sharply, and then he saw that all the members of parliament at the table stood up.

Jace stared at the location of the gate in amazement, Heimerdinger opened his mouth wide and pulled his beard with his little hands, Aunt Marna was ecstatic with tears in her eyes, Scar's eyes were full of fanaticism, Janna raised her wings as if to say hello, and Sevika, who returned to Zaun, also stood up straight, clutching her thighs tightly with both hands.

Li Ke, wearing a windbreaker, walked into the conference room and went straight to the long conference table. Following the right side, he came to the front seat.

After taking off his clothes and placing them on the back of the chair, Li Ke smiled at the councillors on both sides, Hilko and Heimerdinger, and then he sat in the seat of the first councillor.

With a smile on his face, he said loudly:
"Okay, everyone is here."

"Then, let's have a meeting."

Vander opened his mouth so wide that Silko's head could fit in it. He pointed at Li Ke and looked at Silko.

Hilco sneered, "Silly dog!"
