"Chapter 330: First Arrival in Picheng"
Galen left the palace after hastily ending his conversation with Galen IV, and just as Galen was leaving, Galen called his chief of guard, Saiah.
"Send out the scouts to find Miss Lux, and bring her back as soon as there is news!" Garvin commanded Saiya.
"Yes, my subordinates will arrange it, as soon as Miss Lax shows up, we will be able to bring her back as soon as possible!" Saiya said respectfully to Garvin IV.
"Well, there's another thing I want to explain to you, if there is someone around Lux who shouldn't be there, kill!" Gavin's words were very casual, and a human life seemed insignificant to the heir of the Federation of Demacia.
Piltover, the most prosperous harbour on the Valoran mainland, is even more lively in the warm sun, and the large number of boats coming in and out keeps the people on the docks busy. Piltover is the birthplace of Hextech, and it is currently the most prosperous place for Hextech in the Land of Runeterra. Every day, there are a large number of merchants from all over the Runeterra who make a fortune by reselling Piltover goods to various parts of the Runeterra Lands.
At this moment, a majestic warship was slowly entering the harbor from the sea, and two figures, a man and a woman, stood on the deck of the warship. The woman was beautiful, and the first sun shining on her bright and moving cheeks was so dazzling. As for the man next to her, he was a little ordinary, a passerby.
The man and woman were Luiga and Lux, and after a long voyage at sea, the Cuttlefish finally arrived at Piltover. Looking at the bustling and noisy Piltover, Luiga's heart was a little excited, and he was about to set foot on the Valoran continent.
He had vowed to come to Valoran when he was in Ionia to see it, and now he was finally getting his wish. Compared to Luiga, Lux was not so beautiful, because once she set foot on Piltover, it meant that she was not far from the Federation of Demacia, which was not good news for her.
Sensing that Lux's mood was not quite right, Luiga asked, "What's wrong with you, so sad early in the morning." β
"Not muchβ" Lux sighed, and Luiga raised her eyebrows slightly when she heard Lux sigh. He'd never seen Lux in all this time, and sighed, thinking about it, Luiga probably guessed what Lux was thinking.
"Don't be so sad, no one can force you back with me. Luica comforted Lux.
Hearing Luica's words, Lux's face became a little better, she turned her head to look at Luica and smiled: "Remember your words, if you let someone else take me away, I will never pay attention to you in the future!"
The two chatted and chatted that the cuttlefish had also entered the port, and the ship's guards lowered the pedals.
"Alright, let's go!" Lux said, taking Luica's hand and preparing to walk towards the docks, when Pamir stepped out of the wheelhouse. Seeing that Lux and Luica were about to disembark, he hurriedly walked in front of Lux.
"Miss Lux, where are you going, we have just entered the port, and we need to meet with Piltover's men later, which may require your appearance. Pamir said respectfully to Lux.
"No, you can handle it yourself. In addition, you don't have to follow me, you can go back to Demacia. If my brother asks about my whereabouts, you say that I went to the Shurima Continent. Remember, don't tell me about my visit to Piltover, and if you let me know that you dare to betray me, you'll be dead!" Lux said, pulling Luiga, and prepared to disembark.
Seeing this, Pamir hurriedly chased after him, "Miss Lux, you wait!"
Seeing that Pamir was blocking himself again, Lax said a little unhappily: "What else do you have to do, what I said is not clear enough just now, in the future, you will follow your path, I will follow my path, I have nothing to do with the crown guard family, you don't have to treat me as the eldest lady of the crown guard family, you know!"
"Miss, this is not good, if you go like this, I will not be able to explain to General Galen when I go back!" said Pamir with a sad expression.
"It's your business how you explain it, don't stop me again, otherwise don't blame me for being rude!" After Lux finished speaking, he pulled Luiga directly past Pamir and got off the boat, Pamir looked anxious, but there was nothing he could do about it. Watching Lax go farther and farther, Pamir summoned two guards and ordered, "You two follow Miss Lax, remember, you must be careful not to be discovered by her." If Miss Lux is in any danger, contact our steward in Piltover. If Miss Lux loses a hair, you two will come and see you!"
"Yes!" Hearing Pamir's command, the two hurriedly followed Lux and Luica.
At this time, Piltover Harbour was at its busiest time of the day, and Lux pulled Luiga through the crowd and out of the docks.
"Where are we going next?" asked Lux, looking at Luiga.
"Can you take me to the Philos family trading house, I'd like to talk to them about Heart of the Sea? β
Hearing that Luiga was going to the Philos family, Lux thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, then let's go to the Philos family first." Before I go over, I want to tell you that the patriarch of the Philos family is a little strange. I've dealt with her a few times, but according to her personality, she probably won't give me face. If she makes things difficult for you or makes some excessive demands, remember to bear with her, if you do it with her in Picheng, we have no chance of winning!"
Hearing Lux's explanation, Luica probably also knew that the patriarch of the Philos family was not easy to mess with. But thinking about him, he was relieved, and it was normal to be able to control such a large family with some temper.
"Don't worry, I'm not a person who likes to cause trouble, and besides, this time we have a request for help, so naturally I won't do such a stupid thing as provoking others. Luiga assured Lux.
"Okay, you know, let's go now. After Lux finished speaking, he took Luica's hand and walked forward, I don't know when it started, holding Luica's hand has become a habit for Lux. Maybe neither of them noticed it, but unconsciously, the relationship between the two has changed from the previous mistakes to the familiar and natural now.
The Philos family is located in the central city of Phi City, and the land price here is the highest in the Runetera Land, but the Philos family occupies nearly a quarter of the land in the central city of Phi City, and the value of these lands alone can only be looked up to by some big chaebols in the Land of Runeterra.
Lux had driven through Phi City, so he was familiar with the roads here, and it didn't take long for the two of them to arrive in the center of Leather City. The central part of Phi City is a city within a city, with high walls that separate the ordinary city from the central city. At this time, there was already a long group of people standing at the gate of the central city, and it seemed that they were all going to line up to enter the central city. Luiga looked towards the city gate, and he was immediately shocked by the sight, and he found that the guards at the gate were not humans at all, but robots.
Seeing this scene, Luica was directly stunned, and looking at the crowd of people who were familiar with those robots and entering the city, Luiga almost cracked. He had already thought that the Hextech in Runeterra's land was against the sky enough, but he didn't expect them to even make robots.
"Are those robots?" Luiga asked, pointing to the guards at the gates.
"yes, these are robots made with Hextech. Don't look at them all stupid, if they fight, it will be very powerful. Lux nodded and explained to Luiga. Luica nodded at Lux's explanation, and then he was about to walk to the back of the crowd to line up, when Lux grabbed him.
"Come with me, I have direct access to Phi City, we don't have to queue. With that, Lux took Luiga and walked straight towards the city gate. While Luiga was still wondering what the authority was, the two of them had already arrived at the gates of the city. As they walked into the gates, a robot approached.
"Stop!" a robot stopped in front of them, and then the robot's eyes lit up, and two white beams of light swept towards Luiga and Lux. Luica subconsciously wanted to block it with his hands, but Lux hurriedly grabbed him when he saw this.
"Don't move, it's fine. Lux shook her head at Luica. Luiga relaxed at Lux's reminder, and as the white light swept over the two of them for a few seconds, the robot made a stiff mechanical sound. "Level 1 permissions, can enter. β
The robot then made way for the two, and Lux pulled Luiga into Piltover's inner city. After entering the inner city, Luiga found that there were obviously fewer pedestrians on the road, and looking at the dress and temperament of these people in this inner city, it was obviously not comparable to the outer city, these people should be the nobles of the leather city. Everywhere class is ineliminable, and there is a distinction between rich and poor, even in such an advanced leather city.
"Lux, what was the first-level clearance that the robot was talking about?" Luiga asked curiously, looking at Lux.
"Yes, everyone in Phi City has their own permissions, and these permissions determine the status they can enjoy. There are six levels of authority in Picheng, which are level five to level one, and then special level. The five of them are the smallest, and the lower their status. The Grand Grade, on the other hand, is the largest, marking their dominance in Phi City. β
