Twin Cities: I am the man of many myths

Chapter 96 Jace: No, why are you all here!
The people of Zuan are really uncultured!

How many times has Jayce been scolded by the locals since arriving in Zaun?

Following them depressedly, Jayce and Marsanthilco and his group came to a vast place filled with dust, but it was not because of the air quality. If one did not get close to the dust, Jayce thought that the air here was no different from that in Piltover when breathing.

At least if you blindfold Jayce and let him breathe, he will definitely not be able to tell whether this is Zaun or Piltover.

Therefore, the dust was caused by the construction work going on here. A group of Zaun people were carrying wood and stones and building a huge house.

"This is Zaun's parliament building. It is expected to be completed in January next year, roughly around the time of your evolution day?" Hilco introduced to Jace.

"These people are all public servants of Zuan, and they are all former members of the Lotus Gang. You should know what the Lotus Gang is, right?"

Jace nodded.

"However, the Lotus Gang has been disbanded now. It was an order issued by Li Ke himself. In the future, they will all be public servants of Zaun. That's what Li Ke calls them anyway. And they are like the law enforcement officers in your Piltover. They are people with regular positions and jobs."

As Hilco walked with Jayce, he said, "But it is different from Piltover. Zaun is preparing to build an army because it is foolish to rely solely on law enforcers to protect the city-state."

Jace didn't say anything, but Hilco obviously wouldn't let him go, and asked him with a smile: "What do you think?"

"I have to say that you are right. It is indeed a stupid thing to put the safety of a city-state in the hands of a few hundred people and rely only on the police as a defense force to protect the city." Jace said in a deep voice.

Zaun's system is ahead of theirs, at least in this respect it is ahead of Piltover.

"You are a genius, Mr. Tallis. No one will doubt this after seeing your amazing inventions. This is why we invited you to Zaun."

"Zaan needs talents like you. Moreover, I believe that only here can you find the original motivation for studying science. Don't look at me like that. This was said to me by an acquaintance of yours." Hilko walked in front and said softly.

Jace frowned.

This was too arrogant and made him feel a little uncomfortable.

Is Zaun the only place where he can find his original purpose in science?

He admitted that Piltover had blinded him, caused him to lose himself and fall into a life of decadence and debauchery, but thanks to Viktor, he had gotten out of it.

As for Zaan, a place that can't even produce decent materials, what kind of science can be researched in this place?
Want to learn how to assemble weapons from scrap?
"I heard that Heimerdinger became a senator of Zaun? What's going on?"

"Well, are you surprised?"

"Of course! He, he is the father of Piltover. How could he come to Zaun and become a senator?" Jayce caught up with Hilco and said in a deep voice, with suspicion towards Hilco and Zaun in his eyes.

The professor joined Zaun. Was he threatened by Zaun?
Otherwise there is no reason!
The professor really has no prejudice against Zaun, but he has always liked and praised Piltover, and the words that often come out of his mouth are - what the future of Piltover will be like, and what this technological country will change.

How could he be willing to become a member of Zaun's parliament?
Hilco looked at Jace, guessed what he was thinking, sneered, reached out to grab the door handle, and said in a deep voice: "Put away your arrogance, kid, our Zaun is not as bad as you think."

"What I've seen along the way, hasn't changed your opinion?"

Jace was stunned, and a hint of apology flashed in his eyes. What he saw along the way really shocked Jace, but now, he still looked at Zaun with prejudice.

Just as Jace was about to apologize, Hilco opened the door.

"go in."

Jace turned his head, and then froze.

His eyes widened as he looked around the room, and the words came out of his mouth directly: "Victor?"

"Victor!"

Striding into the room, he walked towards the thin young man who was sitting in the corner with his back to him. The other person was holding some materials in his hand and seemed to be studying something.

Hearing the voice, Victor turned around and saw that the person calling him was Jace. A smile appeared on his face and he was about to stand up, but Jace had already taken a step forward and knelt down and hugged him tightly.

"Oh my god, I thought I would never see you again!"

Jayce hugged Viktor tightly and said in a trembling voice, "Why, why are you in Zaun? Why did you leave without saying goodbye? Do you know how nervous I was when you suddenly disappeared, Viktor? I've been looking for you!"

"Okay, Jayce, I'm fine, aren't I?" Victor smiled, patted Jayce's arm, and nodded apologetically to Li Ke who was looking at him and Jayce.

"Alright? I know your situation very well!" Jayce separated Viktor, looked at his face, and said seriously: "Tell me, was it the Zaun people who did it? Did they forcibly bring you down?"

Victor was stunned when he heard this, and the expression on his face became a little strange.

Not to mention that Jace actually guessed the truth of the matter.

But, of course, Victor would not say that. He just smiled again, looked into Jayce's eyes, and said softly: "Jayce, don't forget, I am a Zaun."

"Isn't it the right thing for me to return to Zaun?"

"This..." Jace paused, then sighed and nodded: "You are right, but you left Piltover without telling me. You must give me a reason for this!"

"Of course, I will. But instead of that, shouldn't you also say hello to the professor now?" Victor patted Jace's shoulder with amusement.

His body still hasn't recovered, but with the help of Singed, maintaining his energy is not a problem. As for his life span, Li Ke said he doesn't need to worry, he will be fine, but in fact, Victor no longer cares now.

It is enough for him to see the rise of Zaun during his lifetime.

Although he still has many ambitions that have not been fulfilled, life is always full of regrets. Victor is already very satisfied to be able to see the changes in Zaun and to be involved in them.

"Hey, Jace." Heimerdinger's voice rang out, and he looked at Jace with a somewhat timid expression.

Jace noticed Heimerdinger's mood, took a deep breath, and asked, "Professor, are you okay?"

"Of course, my child, I'm fine!" Heimerdinger said immediately. When he came to Jayce, he looked at Jayce, touched his hands together in front of him, and whispered, "But you, you don't look well."

"Professor, too many things have happened recently. How can I be okay?" Jayce smiled bitterly, then bent down, looked at Heimerdinger and said apologetically: "Professor, I'm sorry for doing that to you."

"It's okay, kid. I've learned a lot since coming to Zaun. I also understand your situation at the time. I can't blame you for that." "Thank you for your understanding, professor. Thank you so much."

"So, Jace, are we reconciled now?" Heimerdinger asked again.

Jace nodded, his heart filled with gratitude towards Heimerdinger.

The professor never blamed him at all.

Heimerdinger really thought it was his fault, and went to Zaun to find out the reason for all this, but what about himself? Jayce personally kicked this teacher who was so kind to him out of the council.

Thinking of this, Jace felt like a piece of shit.

If the occasion wasn't wrong, he would have wanted to slap himself in front of Heimerdinger.

"Are you done talking?"

Jace heard the voice and turned around to see a young man with dark hair. Jace knew him. He had seen his photo when he was at a meeting of the councillors.

And now, looking at him, Jace's expression was complicated.

"Jace, welcome to Zaun." Li Ke looked at Jace. It turned out that Senator Talis was just like in the game, tall, rich and handsome.

And it's kind of scary how high it is.
The average height of people in the two cities is about 1.7 meters, and the average height of Piltover should have increased a lot in recent years, but in general, it will definitely not exceed 1.8 meters.

And what about Jess?

Standing there at a height of two meters, with a well-proportioned body and well-developed muscles, it goes without saying how eye-catching he is.

Among the people Li Ke knew, only Vander was about the same height as Jace. The rest were all of the same height as Marsan, neither tall nor short.

Li Ke is considered to be relatively tall. He was 1.75 meters tall half a year ago. He should be around 1.78 meters tall now, but he is a whole head shorter than Jace when standing in front of him.

When it comes to height, all the people in Noxus are freaks. Remember when I was on the bridge, I just punched out and the people I knocked away were all 1.8-meter-tall strong men?

The average height of a Noxian is about 1.85 meters, right?
"What do you need me to do?" Jace asked Li Ke.

Li Ke gestured for him to sit down. After Jace sat down, he said calmly, "It's simple, Jace. I need you to create a future for the two cities."

"The future of the two cities?"

"I hope we all have a bright future, and this requires you, Viktor, Ekko, Jinx, and the talents of Zaun and Piltover to unite and work together."

"The Noxians have been defeated, but they will come back soon. They are like wolves. We will not be afraid of them if we beat them once. Only when we really break their teeth and cut off their claws will they know what fear is."

Li Ke narrowed his eyes and continued, "But now, Zaun can't do it, and Piltover can't do it either. If the Noxians come back, the first city-state they will pass through will be Piltover."

"Piltover has no grudge against them."

"Do you believe what you said?" Li Ke looked at Jace with a sarcastic smile.

"In wars between city-states, relationships are never considered, only interests are considered. However, Zaun and Piltover are different. Jayce, we were one hundreds of years ago. Looking back at history, our culture and blood are the same."

“We are of the same lineage, so we can work together.”

Jace looked at Victor and saw him smiling at him.

When I looked at Li Ke again, Li Ke had already stretched out his hand towards Jace.

"Okay, I will cooperate with you."

"I don't have the right to choose anyway, right?" With a self-deprecating smile, Jace stretched out his hand.

Li Ke shook hands with Jess gently, then took his hand back and smiled at Jess, "You won't regret it, Jess. I'm going to introduce someone to you."

"It's nice to meet you, Jace Tallis."

An ethereal voice sounded, and Janna appeared out of nowhere and sat on Li Ke's shoulder.

The cyan bird looked at Jace calmly, then said, "I am Janna."

Li Ke was happy when he saw this. Before he called Jana, Jana came out by herself.

It looks like.
Goddess, you are already very skilled at this job, right?

Everyone in the room laughed as Jace looked at Janna with wide eyes.

Yes, everyone from the two cities who sees Janna will have such a silly expression.

"You, you actually exist. That little girl didn't lie to me!"

Jace looked at Janna in surprise and said, then his eyes were full of complexity.

No wonder Zaun was able to win the war, no wonder Zaun had such powerful strength that Piltover could not understand.

It turns out it was because.
The goddess chose Zaun!

But why?

There are still many people in Piltover who believe in Janna!

My goddess, why did you choose Zaun?

Jess, I'm confused.
