Twin Cities: I am the man of many myths

Chapter 54: The Shock of Piltover, Science Poppy in Zaun

In Piltover, in the Disc Building late at night, law enforcement officers were patrolling the building. At this special moment, they were fully armed. Although they looked tired, they were forcing themselves to be energetic.

Piltover suffered a crushing defeat today!

When the law enforcer was carried back to Piltover with broken fingers and feet, that scene frightened all the people of Piltover.

At this moment, on the top floor of the building, members of the House of Representatives were holding an emergency meeting to discuss what happened today.

Jace, who had just walked out of the laboratory, changed into formal clothes and listened to the voice of law enforcement officer Sheriff Marcos. Countless voices were fighting in his mind.

"We lost forty-two law enforcement officers to the violent rebellion in Zaun"

[Jace, give up Hextech. The professor is right. It is not something we can control.]

"According to investigations, the boss behind the Lotus Gang is most likely the criminal who blew up the ship at the port and Senator Talis's laboratory, Jinx."

[Jace, my student, why do you speak like this? ]

"Based on the information we have been searching for, we found that Jinx is very likely related to someone, the largest industrialist in Zaun, Hilco."

[What are you waiting for? Victor is about to die! ]

"so we."

"Enough!" Jace suddenly yelled and slapped his hand on the table. His sudden action made all the congressmen present look at him.

Mel looked at Jace with concern, "Jace?"

"Sorry, I, I'm a little confused." Jace reacted and said to everyone apologetically.

The councillors nodded, and Jace took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and exhaled. He opened his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Marcos, I want to know, is the reason for your failure all because of Jinx?"

"The terrorist who stole the Hextech Gem, killed the law enforcer, and committed terrorist acts?"

Standing on the opposite side of the congressmen, Marcos was like a criminal being interrogated by the congressmen. There was a struggle in his eyes, but he immediately made up his mind and said, "Yes, it's all Jinx, but the bigger reason is because of Hilco."

He couldn't make the same mistake over and over again. He had already made a mistake once. For the sake of power, he let Silko get a hold of him, which allowed him to rise to power and hurt many people as a result.

As for what happened today, more than half of the law enforcement officers who went down to the bottom city died, and Marcos must be held responsible for this.

He is not a good person, but Marcos is also a person with a bottom line, which may be why he saved Wei in the first place.

"Members of the Senate, I have something to say." Marcos mustered up his courage and decided to tell them everything.

He couldn't bear to see Silko succeed. In the past, he thought that no matter how Silko developed, it would be in vain in the end.

The productivity gap was too large, the technological level was backward, and most importantly, Hillco was unpopular. The people of Dicheng feared him and hated him. In the end, he was expelled from both cities.

But what happened today scared Marcos, and the people of Dicheng united!
But just as Marcos was about to speak out, the door of the conference room was suddenly pushed open violently.

"who!"

The congressmen looked over, but the next second, they all opened their eyes wide.

Two rows of soldiers in red clothes and armed rushed in. Leading them was a man with a big beard and an incredibly strong body. He looked at the congressmen with cold eyes, then lowered his head respectfully and stood aside.

Behind him, a tall woman with gray hair walked in.

"Mother?" Mel stood up instantly.

"I'm sorry for barging into the meeting without your consent." Anbesa's eyes were like a wolf. She looked at the faces of each councillor with her hands behind her back, especially those of Councillors Giraman and Tallis.

Old Cake saw Anbesa and looked at her, but was frightened by Anbesa's aura. He shrank his head, opened his mouth slightly, and avoided Anbesa's sight.

Seeing this, Anbesa's eyes flashed with an inexplicable look, and she continued: "But I really can't help it. Even if it will offend you, I think I have to take action."

"Piltover is not only your Piltover. Although I am just an outsider, my daughter has dedicated herself to this city. As a result, Midalda has become a meritorious family in Piltover. Therefore, I consider myself half a Piltover person."

"Does anyone have any objection to this?" Anbesa looked around at the councillors and put one hand on her waist.

Saro was the first to speak, "Of course not, Master of Midalda."

"We welcome you very much," said Bolhak.

Ambesa looked at Giraman.

"I, I think so too." Jiraman said after taking a deep breath.

"No!" Mel stood up, put his hands on the table, looked at Anbesa, and said loudly: "Mother, what do you want to do?"

"I've already said that Piltover is not a tool for your political career. Don't even think about using your ideas on my city-state!" Mel said loudly without backing down. Anbesa's face turned pale, but a hint of admiration flashed in her eyes as she looked at Mel. She said in a deep voice, "Hey, how long do you want to keep playing house?"

"Mel, open your eyes and take a look. Nearly fifty law enforcement officers died because of your incompetence. If you had dealt with the Zaun incident long ago, how could this situation have happened now?"

"How long do you want to let Zaun develop? Until they stand in front of you, right?"

Mel listened for a while. She had countless reasons to refute Anbesa, but when Anbesa mentioned the law enforcement officer who returned today and the body of the law enforcement officer who was brought back, Mel was speechless.

Of course she knew that her mother had bad intentions, and every bit of kindness she showed towards Piltover was laced with conspiracy.

But the fact is just as Anbesa said.

It is precisely because of their improper control over Zaun that things like this happened today.

Anbesa glanced at Mel, opened her arms and said loudly.

"Everyone, please listen to my thoughts."

----

Zuan, the trench zone.

A short, child-like figure walked carefully on the streets of Zaun.

The streets were dirty, the air was turbid, alchemical jars were humming, and skinny women and children could be seen on both sides of the streets.

At this moment, Heimerdinger suddenly understood what Jace meant.

"Professor, we are different from you. You have infinite life, but we are different. Humans have hundreds of years, and we can't wait for everything!"

This was Heimerdinger's second day in Zaun, and he knew what happened today.

He is not only standing in Piltover, he also has his heart in Zaun. To Heimerdinger, Zaun and Piltover are one. It was like this hundreds of years ago, and it should be like this now.

But the facts told Heimerdinger that all this was just his arrogance.

He stood arrogantly and talked a lot of empty ideas without really understanding the people of Zaun and Piltover.

Being a kind-hearted man, he began to regret and repent for his past arrogance and arrogance.

Walking to a garbage dump, Heimerdinger saw a masked child tinkering with a flying board.

He was startled when he saw Heimerdinger and shrank back.

“Hey, don’t be afraid, I’m not a bad guy.” Heimerdinger said quickly. He walked forward, a little shorter than the child, and looked at the flying board the child was playing with with a surprised look: “Did you make this?”

"You're amazing. How did you come up with the idea of ​​using these, uh, not-so-good materials to make something like this?"

The child shook his head and said nothing.

Heimerdinger looked a little depressed as he saw the child, but when he thought about what he had seen along the way, he understood why the child was so alert.

So he took off his hood, revealing a big, cute furry face, and said gently, "Can you show me?"

"You--" The child was startled when he saw Heimerdinger's face, and immediately handed the flying board to Heimerdinger.

He had seen this face on the free mugs given out at last year's Evolution Day.

"Well let me take a look, I'll see if I can fix it for you."

Heimerdinger sat on the ground, lowered his head and started tinkering.

After a few minutes, Heimerdinger frowned.

The workmanship of this thing is very crude, but the idea is very clever. It really cannot be cracked in a short time. However, for Heimerdinger, this is not difficult. However, he has no tools now, so he can't disassemble the flying plate, which is very troublesome.

At this time, a voice sounded behind them.

"That's not the way to do it. Your thinking is wrong. You should disassemble it from the middle. Things made by the Zaun people can be disassembled without tools, because we don't even have many of the tools."

The child in front of Heimerdinger rushed out, came behind Heimerdinger, and hugged the man's thighs.

Heimerdinger also turned around and saw a young man with white hair and black skin.

The boy said:
"A Piltover man."

“This is the flyboard I made.”
