lol: Bind Syndra at the start

Perhaps they can always show far-sightedness far beyond others, but thinking too much will sometimes lead to the phenomenon of "the water is too cold"... Under the heavy pressure from the Noxians, some councilors or nobles will definitely develop a mentality of taking chances.

They would find countless excuses for their retreat, such as the Noxians would not kill them all, the city-state would always rely on them for support, it was just a change of leadership, and they could still do what they were supposed to do...

But the reality is that the Noxians are not as kind as these people imagine, especially the woman Anbesa. Her title of "Wolf Mother" is enough to explain a lot.

There are times when names are wrong, but there are rarely any nicknames that don’t match the person himself.

Ryan wants to find a capable and trustworthy person in Zaun and Piltover. Only by making these two people reach an agreement can peace be brought to these two city-states that have been divided for more than four hundred years.

There is no big problem in Zaun. The pattern of Jinx in the dark and Sevica in the light has basically been established.

Ryan's initial choice on the Piltover side was the admirable Senator Talis, but their first meeting made him feel that Senator Talis was smart enough, but lacked decisiveness and resolution.

Instead, it was the black girl Mel... She had the courage and decisiveness that Jayce didn't have, and no one in the entire Piltover understood the Noxians and her mother better than her.

She has no reason to surrender to Noxus, and she has enough courage and ability.

So Ryan changed his target to her.

"I've found Mel..." Vladimir's words made Ryan's eyes light up, but his tone became strange afterwards, "But we may not be able to see her for a while."

"Is there anyone in this city who can stop you?"

Ryan looked at the scarlet figure in front of him and began to recall whether he had removed something when he was "repairing" the other person's soul.

"There's none in the city, but she's outside it."

"So who caught her?" Ryan asked the key question directly.

"Your acquaintance, my old friend... Black Rose."

"?"

If someone else had tied up Mel, Ryan would have said that the world line's ability to repair the world line was manifested at this time.

But if it was Black Rose who tied up Mel, then now it should be said that the stupid beauty's ability to stir up trouble is first-class.

"They captured Mel, but now they won't let him go?" Ryan remembered that in the original book, the group of stupid beauties wanted Mel to join their gang.

But that wasn't going to work, because Mel was no fool.

"That's it. I asked them, but they said it wasn't the right time."

"Timing?" A question mark appeared in Ryan's mind again.

Does Black Rose really understand timing?

"Yes, they have their own understanding of the world." Vladimir spread his hands helplessly.

He could have snatched it from other people, but as for the Black Rose... on the one hand, he was still cooperating with LeBlanc, and on the other hand, he did get the news about Ryan from LeBlanc, and then immediately intervened.

There is nothing wrong with saying this kind of thing in private, but it always seems a bit dirty when it is put on the table.

"So you trust their timing?" Ryan asked.

“I don’t trust their judgment, but I believe in their hatred for Anbesa… You should know how terrifying women’s hatred is, and I think the hatred of a group of women is enough to destroy half the world.

"They may have been racking their brains to analyze the timing before, but as long as they know that Anbesa has made a move and they have a way to disrupt Anbesa's plan, they will immediately abandon those plans!

"Embesa will make a move tonight. The Noxians who remain in Piltover are already making arrangements for her, so I assume they will release Mel before nightfall."

Ryan stared at Vladimir's eyes. When the other party said this, his scarlet pupils split into several pieces, and the image reflected by each piece was very different, just like the screens in the monitoring room in his previous life.

This kind of magic, which is similar to opening the entire map, is enviable, but he knows that in order to master this magic, he first needs to split his soul into several pieces.

Putting aside the pain of separation, the stronger the soul, the harder it is to split.

This alone is enough to keep Ryan out.

But this did not prevent him from seeing through Vladimir's eyes...At this moment, a person appeared on a certain "screen".

"Jace's at the door."

There were no servants in Vladimir's manor, and Maura could play a temporary guest role before.

But now Maura is painting.

The scarlet bat took on this role, flying in front of Jace and then leading him to the back garden.

It's only been less than two days, but Jace seems like a different person.

Mel's disappearance and the spread of rumors...and perhaps the threats from his best friends made him seem to have aged a dozen years.

But he was not overwhelmed by these, as aging often means growth.

There was no excessive politeness or meaningless small talk.

Many things don't need to be said out loud. Jace's presence here has already explained a lot.

The three of them got to the point in tacit understanding.

"Ambersa and Kiraman are indeed standing together, and they will give a speech at Piltover Square tonight." Jayce provided the news he had just received, "I don't know the specific content of their speech.

"But it's definitely related to the deployment of troops against Zaun. Caitlin's hatred for Zaun has affected her judgment. We need to find Mel as soon as possible. I have a feeling that Anbesa will use Mel's disappearance as a prelude to stir up the Piltover people's hostility towards Zaun..."

Ryan didn't know whether Jace's 'hunch' was a rational judgment or personal selfishness, but he still told him the good news.

"We've located Mel, she's safe now, but she might need to wait a little longer to get back."

If it were Jace two days ago, he would have asked who had taken Mel and why she was taking so long to come back.

But now Councillor Tallis has learned to accept reality. He was obviously relieved. "It's good to be back, it's good to be back..."

He remembered something, "Maybe we can just have Mel show up in the square!"

"I think this idea is feasible," Ryan agreed.

Let Mel face Anbesa directly. This kind of tit-for-tat confrontation can save a lot of testing process.

Nobles like to play the game of being calm and composed on the surface but fighting for power under the surface, but Ryan is not a noble.

Jace might be considered one, but he has not yet been tamed by those rules, and directly overturning the table is more suitable for their status.

"Anbesa will definitely arrange for Noxians to maintain order, but I can ask them to let us pass." Vladimir directly proposed an action plan.

Ryan said: "Maybe we can throw the dirty water on Anbesa. I believe Mel would be happy to give her mother a gift.

"This will clear your suspicion. As for the Kiraman family... I think we can let it become history and use it as a warning to other nobles or councilors."

I have never eaten pork and I have seen pigs running away.

Ryan had never been involved in political games before. The time with the Brotherhood in Ionia could not be considered politics, at most it was a tribal struggle.

But having watched countless British and American TV series, he knows that the essence of the political game is the exchange and replacement of interests...

What is true is not important; what is important is what it should be.

For example, the truth behind Mel's disappearance is that Black Rose kidnapped Mel.

But that truth doesn't quite ring true for anyone, including Mel herself.

And if Anbesa kidnapped her, it would be more in the interests of all parties.

It not only destroyed Anbesa's plan, but also allowed Mrs. Piltover to see the true nature of the Noxians.

Would a person who could even kidnap his own daughter to achieve a certain goal really protect a group of unrelated outsiders?

Fools who still have illusions in this situation are not worth saving, and they can embrace the "goodwill" of the Noxians to their heart's content.

"The Qilaman family..." Jace wanted to say something. He had no objection to 'blaming' Anbesa.

But the Chiraman family is different. This old family occupies a certain weight in the hearts of the Piltover people.

To the present-day Piltovers, the family has represented law and order since their ancestors.

"...They have been maintaining order. Will there be any problems if they are moved?"

"The question is whether they are the ones who can maintain order."

Ryan looked at him and did not try to instill the concepts and ideas of another world into the people of this world, because the environments of the two were completely different, but there was one thing in common.

"You can't go up until they go down, Councillor Tallis."

This decision wasn't entirely because Sindra had her eye on the necklace...

There are many briefly mentioned plots in the original novel that hide terrifying details when you think about them carefully.

The European and American people like to create the "unspoken rule" of aristocrats as heroes, which makes many characters that should be complex become simple "good guys".

For example, Caitlin's character is a pure white flower both in the anime and in the background story.

But what is the reality?

A wealthy family background that is not particularly top-notch;

There is no contribution of major achievements like Jayce's Hextech;

She was even portrayed as a little white flower with no conspiracy or calculation.

But such a person became the controller of Piltover under the promotion of a Noxian.

In Ryan's former world, there was a beautiful country. Their country was famous for its lighthouses in the early days, but later on it began to produce various "strange stories".

There is a sister named Haha in the beautiful country who has a similar personality to Caitlyn. Her birth can’t be considered good, but it’s not bad either.

It’s not that they don’t have abilities or contributions, but there aren’t many that are worth mentioning either.

Sister Haha also has advantages that Caitlin doesn't have...such as political correctness and the full support of a major political party.

But in the end, she still lost to another knowledgeable guy.

This is enough to prove that...a person without any brains will never be able to sit in that position.

But Caitlin succeeded, which only proved that she was not as 'upright' as she seemed.

After all, a kind person would not have the idea of ​​indiscriminately attacking civilians;

A family that has complete control over the law enforcement system will not allow their next patriarch to be a naive person.

Jace fell silent, and silence was an answer in itself.

"If we want to take action against the Chiraman family, we have to prepare evidence now." Vladimir calculated the time. There are still seven or eight hours until evening, which seems a bit urgent.

But from his understanding of the nobles, the probability that they had never committed a crime was about the same as the probability that a Noxian warrior had never killed anyone.

So he just needs to pick a target at random and let the other party know why blood magic is listed as a forbidden technique.

During the time he followed the Darkin, he didn't learn much in other methods, but his torture and interrogation skills were directly improved from novice to master.

There may be a group of truly elites among the nobles, but the collateral branches that are more dependent on the elite are like mud barely glued to the wall.

"They control the judiciary of Piltover, so if we want to bring them down, we have to use the power of the masses." Ryan thought for a moment, "It would be best to send a member of the Kiraman family to the square along with the evidence and have a trial with thousands of people.

"This method may not bring about their complete downfall, but the collapse of many things stems from a small crack. Doubt and suspicion will always grow slowly over time until they completely consume a family."

He didn't trust Piltover's judicial system any more than he trusted the Kiraman family.

What results can be obtained by letting them review themselves?

"Do you have the right person?"

Vladimir looked at Jace.

Before the latter could speak, Ryan had already given the answer, "We met someone from the Qilaman family at the auction house before. He was the one who bought the black crystal necklace!"

"Black crystal necklace?" Vladimir thought thoughtfully. "I remember that man. He looked like he was used to doing bad things."

Jace suspected that Ryan was taking personal revenge, but as the biggest beneficiary, he had no right to accuse the other party.

"Then let's take action." Ryan finally made the decision, "Vladimir will investigate the Kiraman family, and Councillor Tallis will return to his office."

"I don't know what I can do when I go back..." Jace now thinks everyone is a spy for the nobles.

He once thought that it was his "kingdom" and the ladder for him to ascend to glory.

But now even the doorman would look at him with a strange look, and as for the other clerks... every look from them would make Jace feel like he was being watched.

"The more confused you are, the more the nobles will let down their guard."

"Okay." Jace agreed.

He didn't ask about Ryan's mission.

After all, the other party looks like he has some special mission.

Vladimir led Jess out of the manor.

Ryan, who was "burdened with a heavy responsibility", slowly walked through the garden where butterflies were flying, and then walked along the long corridor to a room on the second floor.
