In the new century, there is no distinction between aristocrats and ordinary people, but differences in economic levels will directly affect how people get along with each other.

Even if they have similar growing environments and have accumulated childhood friendships, "pocket money" is a real amount of money.

When you go out together and the other person can spend most of your pocket money for half a month or even a month in one afternoon without any burden, this invisible "gap" has already appeared.

The friend was not too sensitive about this and was even willing to pay for Ryan's payment.

But as a normal person, it's okay if it happens once or twice...but asking people to pay every time is a bit shameless.

Therefore, Ryan gradually began to find various excuses when the other party invited him, and over time the relationship became distant.

No one is wrong here, it's just that fate has reached a fork in the road at this time.

But Caitlin and Vi...

Whether it is the growing environment, status, or even the forces behind them, they are completely different, and can even be said to be two opposing people. How could they become that kind of relationship in the original work? Ryan can only say that the editor wrote the game background as a fairy tale.

But unfortunately, this is the real world, and the shadows and flaws hidden in fairy tales will be clearly revealed in this world.

Wei looked at the unfamiliar Caitlyn and chose "forgiveness" without much hesitation.

The characterization and setting of the character began to take effect at this time, so why did she become a tool in the second season?

Because her setting fundamentally lacks personality and persistence.

She doesn't have Jinx's rebelliousness and madness;

There is also no background or subplot for Caitlin;

She is not even as good as the black girl Mel. At least Mel truly embodies independent judgment and the courage to challenge matriarchy.

Wei, who was supposed to be one of the protagonists, ended up being an empty shell filled with pretentiousness and stereotyped saintliness by the editors.

She was unwilling to harm the child out of so-called kindness, but she chose to join Piltover, placing her hopes of reviving Zaun in the hands of the "enemy."

The main reason for this fluctuation is blindness in thinking and weakness in will, which is consistent with her attributing the failure of the mission to Bakugo in the first season.

Caitlin changed the subject of the conversation from "I" to "we," saying, "We need to turn the situation around. We can't hand over the power of the law to other people."

That didn't sound right, but Vi didn't realize it. "What should I do?"

"They're looking for evidence of our guilt, so we can find evidence of theirs as well." Caitlin thought for a long time and finally came up with a breakthrough. "Jestalis himself is not clean either. The council members once voted on the handling of the Hextech core.

"Ultimately, the Council decided to destroy this object, which could potentially lead to a greater disaster at any time. However, as far as I know, he did not destroy the Hextech core as requested by the Council, but secretly placed it in the laboratory.

"I'm not sure if he has transferred the Hextech core yet, so we must find the key evidence before announcing it to the public."

The betrayal and struggle between "friends" often seem more cruel because each party knows each other's secrets and knows what the other party values ​​more.

"I can sneak in quietly."

"Then I'll trouble you..." Caitlin took a deep breath, her heaving chest blocking the sunlight and casting a shadow behind her, just blocking Wei's expression. "I'm going to find Anbesa!"

"You still trust the Noxians?" Vi frowned in the shadows.

"What's the difference? Anbesa and Mel are both Noxians. The other councilors can't interfere in this matter. Since Jace asked the Noxians for help, we can also take the same approach."

This defense left Wei speechless.

The exciting confrontation in the square made all the people in Piltover see the true face of the Noxians. Before Mel and Anbesa, they believed in Mel because Mel had lived in Piltover for many years.

But between Mel and the other Piltover people...even if it was the Kiraman family who had to choose, most people would still support the Kiraman people, because their ancestors had grown up in Piltover, and Mel was an outsider after all.

This is why Jace and Mel's forces are called Jace's forces, because he is the real local.

Wei stood up with hesitation and chose to do what he was good at first.

"I'll go check out Jace's lab first."

......

......

"Victor is in the lab."

Jace had no time to split himself, he needed to sit in that office building to stabilize the morale of the troops.

So Mel took Ryan's place and personally led him to the most advanced laboratory in Piltover.

Compared to the laboratory he used when he was a student, after becoming a senator and getting Mel's full support, Jace's laboratory underwent a comprehensive expansion and renovation from equipment to decoration.

Ryan, who had seen Singed's laboratory in Zaun not long ago, looked at the surrounding environment and the instruments, and couldn't help but compare the two laboratories in his mind.

But the tragic contrast made him unable to bear to think about it any further.

After pushing open a translucent glass door, a concave arc-shaped sunken laboratory appears.

And at the innermost part of the laboratory... an irregular, wriggling light that was almost half the size of a wall, a mixture of lavender and black, was continuously expanding and contracting.

A hair-raising, crackling sound emanated from this irregular energy body. Mel, who had become a spellcaster, instinctively sensed danger from it.

She stopped at the edge and looked at Ryan beside her. "I do sense a dangerous aura from it."

"What you perceive is still the surface."

Ryan walked over slowly.

He had seen another 'instrument' in Ionia that could gather magic - Kunlong.

But that kind of instrument is much more stable than the Hextech core in front of it. You can question the brains of the Vastaya people, but you cannot question their excellent perception and control of magic.

The ball of light and dark expanding and contracting ability gradually became "anxious" as Ryan approached, and it seemed to have the ability to perceive the outside world.

When Ryan was about to walk in front of them, the ball of energy suddenly took the initiative to attack and swallowed Ryan whole.

Chapter 368 Hex Core

"Buzz!"

The gloomy power surrounding Ryan reacted instantly.

But he suppressed the dark self-defense in his mind.

Even if the Hextech core didn't move, he would take the initiative to touch it with his fingers and connect his consciousness to it.

According to the information revealed in the original work, the Wild Runes are not as stable as the magic crystals improved by Jayce and Viktor, and are like some kind of program that can give you specific feedback for certain specific instructions.

The characteristics of the Wild Rune are as "wild" as its name. It seems to have its own "will", and this will contains endless chaos and madness.

As can be seen from Viktor's experience, Wild Runes will also respond to the call of humans.

But the response it gives you may not be what you want. It is like the Pandora's Box of League of Legends, powerful and dangerous...

But any adjective and description is relative, and for Viktor and Jayce, runes are dangerous.

But for Ryan...

When the other party chose to take the initiative, he did not get afraid or retreat, but chose to lie down and let things take their course.

The shrinking and expanding light point swallowed him whole in a brutal manner, but Ryan remained calm.

The dark magic that he suppressed was quietly hidden in the deepest part of his consciousness, for fear that the leaked aura would make the Wild Rune retreat.

To officially strip away the Wild Rune and the link to other worlds, Syndra's assistance is needed.

But this time Ryan was just here to explore the way.

He watched as the endless darkness and twisted, expanding, and shrinking space replaced the neat and new laboratory;

Listening to the vague and noisy whispers and shouts that kept ringing in my ears;

In the endless wriggling energy, indescribable twisted outlines seemed to be piling up...

But he didn't care about these 'details'.

Many people use the saying "I haven't eaten pork, but I've seen pigs run" to describe that they have a certain understanding of something.

As for Ryan, he has never raised pigs, but he has been riding pigs for several years.

When it comes to his understanding of pigs...and magic, he gradually came to understand some of it in a one-sided way.

However, based on the status of dark magic, this one-sidedness is a destination that most people cannot reach in their entire lives.

Weak forces adapt to the rules, while powerful forces manipulate the rules.

World-building "bases" like Dark or Wild Runes all have their own "rules".

The various 'visions', 'noises', and 'illusions' that appeared around him... were merely manifestations of another power completely different from the one he controlled, operating under its own rules.

It's like if Ryan enveloped an ordinary person in dark magic, if the person could survive and have clear thinking, then the person would also see all kinds of blurry, crazy, and beautiful pictures.

Ryan had experienced too many of these "strange things" in Sindra's crazy dreams.

So much so that he has even mastered a method that allows him to find the information he wants as quickly as possible in such situations.

If you are fooled by such inexplicable scenes, you will start to avoid them or search along these "visible" tracks.

Then maybe we won’t see the same chicken that can play basketball or monkey that can play with a stick as in Syndra’s crazy dream, but based on Viktor’s experience... maybe some weird things like Transformers will appear.

To be cautious and to avoid more ineffective actions.

A dark purple light quietly condensed at Ryan's fingertips. It was very faint... like a flame that could go out at any time.

But under Ryan's guidance, it slowly moved away from the range of his fingertips.

The flames began to tremble, as if being fanned by some unreachable wind.

The surrounding noise and clamor suddenly increased countless times, and those indescribable terrifying outlines in the distance began to approach rapidly.

But after a few seconds...

The flames silently blended into the 'background', not extinguishing but blending in, just like the paint that had been smeared on the canvas returned to the paint palette.

Ryan slowly sensed the connection between himself and the dark flame. After sensing that it had slowly penetrated into the power of the wild rune, he knew that his 'tracker' had taken effect.

"I'm going out now."

Ryan looked up at the terrifying silhouettes.

He didn't know if anyone was watching him or could hear his voice.

But he always felt that notifying the other party before breaking the deadlock would make it more shocking.

Because this reflects one's own "politeness" and the other party's helplessness.

'Buzz'

The dark purple darkness was no longer restrained and emerged from all around Ryan.

The gloomy atmosphere instantly caused cracks to appear in the surrounding 'space'. As Ryan turned around...

the outline of terror;

stacked noise;

Blurred background.

......

All the phenomena created by the Hextech core were ruthlessly torn apart by dark magic.

And at this moment, Ryan heard a scream.

......

"what!"

Mel screamed as soon as he saw Ryan being 'swallowed'.

This calm female councilor rarely takes such actions due to accidents, but firstly, there is no one else here, and secondly... Ryan is too important to her and Jace now.

Almost all of their current "advantages" are built on Ryan, and even the future peace with Zaun will depend on Ryan's matchmaking.

Although this young Ionian man has only been in Piltover for a short time, his safety has indeed affected the future development of Piltover.

Golden light shone from Mel's eyes. As a wizard with magical potential, she currently lacked guidance and was not very good at using her power.

But at this time she still chose to overcome her inner fear and try her best to rescue Ryan.

However, before she could gather her own strength.

The expanding and contracting Hextech core suddenly seemed to play in reverse, 'spitting' Ryan out at a speed several times faster than before.

"what are you doing?"

Ryan looked at Mel, who was seeing stars.

He discovered that the knowledge of magic among these 'Piltower people' was more superficial than he had imagined.
