Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Beginning of Man

Hex's academy isn't heavily guarded - Rod's spatial magic and forcible invisibility are both available here.

After making sure that no one was excavating, Rhodes flashed into the room where there was no one.

It's a small Hexpower lab, but it's full of power units and test instruments – in the center of the room, a huge stand structure stands for the eye.

Rod didn't care about it, though—he didn't know anything about Hextech.

After entering the laboratory, Rhodes immediately discovered the strange "intruder".

It didn't seem appropriate to say that it was an intruder, because on the beam of the power tester, a little girl with a lot of dolls was staring nervously at the door, her hand pressed on the button of a Hex instrument on her waist, and she looked like she was about to slip away.

I don't know why, Rhodes looked at the dolls in her arms and always felt familiar.

Clockwork ...... of Piltover It can't be such a coincidence, right?

Relying on the stealth effect, Rod looked at the little girl carefully.

Her neat short hair was combed into a lovely bun at the back of her head, her light blue eyes were full of nervousness, and her cute work vest and overalls skirt explained her status as a hex's apprentice - but to Rod's surprise, the little girl had so many hex products on her body that even Rod, a layman, was dazzled by it.

Rod doesn't understand Hextech, but sometimes the truth is the same.

What kind of person will have so many props that it is dazzling?

Local tyrants.

Whether it's a warrior or a mage, most seasoned veterans don't show their props and equipment in this way - people like Rod and Khadgar who are walking around with their staff all day are already excessive, and it's not a loss of mind to put a lot of hex products out like this little girl!

Piltover has a low crime rate, but it is not without crime.

For this alone, Rod made his own judgment - this little girl is eighty percent a rookie.

(If it's not a rookie, I'm afraid it's a Draven...... )

So, here's the problem.

What is a rookie doing in the comprehensive laboratory building of Hex Academy when he has nothing to do?

Looking at the law dolls in her arms, Rhodes was more inclined to be a lost child.

So, take her out? Or ignore her?

Rod narrowed his eyes slightly and thought for a moment, then decided to ignore the little girl.

If she's a spy or something, there's a good chance she'll cause some trouble - but if it's a lost kid, Rhodes doesn't think it matters.

(Rod didn't do anything like that when he was at Violet Academy, wandering around and running to some strange place.) )

After all, her presence didn't seem to be a problem for Rod's project—the Fest Society meeting would take place in the General Laboratory, where the soundproofing and secrecy were said to be good, and the little girl had little chance of hearing about the Fest Society.

Of course, for the sake of insurance, Rhodes still has to keep a hand to prepare.

For example, leave a space anchor on this little girl's body.

Just when Rhodes quietly came to the little girl's side, intending to leave a spatial anchor on her body, a sudden change occurred.

The little girl's necklace suddenly lit up with a dangerous red light, and a transparent defensive shield appeared, blocking Rod's spatial anchor mark.

A shockwave silently appeared, bouncing Rhodes away, forcing him to emerge from invisibility.

What a clever trigger-type defense!

Rhodes was careless and suffered a loss.

Holding on to the wall, Rod shook his head and regained his balance, a little incredulous.

There is no offensive energy mark when you are a space anchor, and the energy is very low, which can trigger defense?!

This defense...... Overkill, right?!

Rhodes's space anchor is a magic imprint that has undergone countless experiments, and the energy it contains is not even as great as that of accidentally touching a person's shoulder on the street, and then you tell me that this can trigger defense?!

If this little girl walks on the street, pedestrians along the way will be bounced off if they accidentally touch her!

(It's a pity that Rhodes doesn't know that most of the time, Oriana relies on Hex to spray away the eaves...... )

It's not that Rhodes is careless, it's that the enemy is neurotic!

On the other side, Orianna was already stunned.

A flurry of questions quickly popped into Oriana's mind.

How did this person come about?

Who is he?

Looking at his dress, could the style of that cloak be a student of this school?

I was discovered by him?

He's not going to kick me out, is he?

Orianna was as uneasy as a little girl who was caught secretly eating at a banquet while the master of ceremonies was still talking.

Oriana's face flushed, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.

Rod reacted first.

Now he's pretty sure he's definitely a rookie, and he's the kind of thin-skinned and embarrassed kind.

How to deal with this rookie?

Rod shamelessly used his stunt - pretending to be miserable.

Holding his waist, Rhodes made it look like he had been injured by a defense.

Orianna panicked even more, she swore that she really didn't mean to!

Dad's defense device trigger threshold is too low, I've said it many times, and now it's still hurting people!

Looking at Rod who was pretending to be miserable, Oriana gritted her teeth, activated the Hex jet, and came to Rod's side.

"Sir—I'm sorry, do you need some treatment? Uh, I can take you to the hospital! ”

Rod didn't speak, still gritting his teeth, his face full of pain.

"I really didn't mean to, sir, my name is Oriana, Orianna Levik, and if I do cause you trouble, I'll be responsible to the end!"

"It's not a big deal...... Rhodes finally spoke, "I just noticed someone coming to my lab, so I came in and had a look, I just wanted to pat you on the shoulder and ask who you are, but I didn't expect - little girl, lower the threshold of defense next time." ”

"Uh-huh!" Rod's "generosity" made Oriana even more embarrassed, her face was flushed and she was at a loss, "Sir, I'll take you to the hospital now?" ”

"No need." Rod waved his hand, "It's no big deal - I have an important meeting, can you help me to the next door?" ”

"No problem, sir!"

Rhodes is a person, most of the starting points are good, but the way he behaves......
