After returning home and spending the middle of the night with his father, Ezreal, who was worried about her the next morning, didn't waste much time in bed. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Counting the time to get up, he had breakfast at the table with old Capet, and then wandered around the house trying to find something to do for himself.

Finally, old Capet took Cosimo and set off for the council in a carriage, and before the carriage turned around the corner of the street outside the door, Ezreal, who had casually found a reason to explain to the old servant, had already followed out of the house.

Ezreal sneaked away from home, all of which fell into the two pairs of eyes at the carriage window in the turn, and Cosimo whispered helplessly: "Master......"

"Humph! This stinky boy. "Who knew that this time Old Capet just snorted lightly, and he didn't mean to restrain the young master at all.

But I didn't know that the senior councillor who received the notice from the council last night was secretly sneering in his heart: Stinky boy, there is a meeting in the mountains and rivers, how can you easily escape this hurdle.

As a strict father and a successful politician, Capet Sr. has always looked only at the results, not the process. If Ezreal ends up on the path of a statesman, it doesn't matter if he is an archaeologist or something else, and he has great confidence in that stinky boy to become a statesman in the future.

……

Traveling through the small half of the city, Ezreal soon arrived at the Foreign Affairs Post in the City of Progress, but his companions were not there.

Lux, who came from the Demacima Federation and then almost circled the Runea Continent, finally enjoyed the treatment of a diplomat in Piltover, and had been invited to the parliament early this morning to participate in the 'briefing' before the official envoy summons.

This is an informal meeting between parliamentarians and diplomatic envoys, and everyone can learn about the conditions of both sides in advance in a relaxed environment.

Of course, this kind of 'briefing' is usually only enjoyed by the city-state or country with which Piltover has a very friendly relationship. If the initial mission from the northern part of the Federation is not detained by Noxus for carrying prohibited items, it can also be enjoyed. This special treatment is for the Federated States of Demacia, not for a certain member.

It is a pity that there is no news of that envoy at the moment, but Demacia's protest is fruitless, from King Gavin III to ordinary people, the whole federation knows that the war with Noxus has broken out at this moment, and naturally the envoy cannot enjoy any diplomatic treatment.

Fortunately, Lux left a message for the inn staff before leaving, because the 'briefing' invited the entire envoy group, and Ezreal, who is still a guide for the time being, can go to the council garden to meet with his companions.

Touching his nose, this is a really strange feeling sometimes, and he now feels like he has been in the middle of three autumns, so Ezreal sped up and went to the Piltover Council.

The city of Piltover, built along a gently sloping hill, has a fresh and pleasant environment, where there is no shortage of technology and nature in harmony.

Although the plants of the City of Progress are not as delicately cared for as the yodelers of their small gardens outside their houses, they are superior to the abundance of plants. Thanks to the extensive use of unmanned irrigation systems in the gardens, plants can be planted on a large scale without worrying about not having enough workers to take care of the gardens, as the Ionians do.

At this time, Lux was invited, and in the garden of the parliament, he was exchanging information with the parliamentarians who were concerned about the political situation on the mainland.

The Noxian Empire's decision to deny access to the Noxian Empire made the Piltover Council smell the smell of war, but it wasn't until Lux, who arrived in a thrilling way, told the councillors what she had seen along the way, and everyone knew that the situation was much worse than they thought.

Especially when the spare tire envoys who took a long way have arrived, there is no news from the official envoys who have approached the road, and only when the two forces are about to tear their faces apart, will such a situation occur.

Even though intelligence suggests that the most likely direction for the Noxus Empire to attack is the neighboring Federation of Demacia, the councillors are still a little worried about the weak Piltover.

The last large-scale continental war was before Gavin I ascended the throne, and at that time, Piltover, who had not experienced rapid development, could only be regarded as a large town with some potential, and could not attract the attention of Noxian soldiers.

But after nearly 100 years of rapid development, it has become a 'progressive city' of independent city-states, and has qualified to be a delicious dessert before a tempting meal.

If it weren't for the twisted twin cities of technology, the vast amount of toxic waste, wastewater, and exhaust gases on the plains outside the city of Zuan, which greatly reduced the value of the twin peninsulas northeast of the Iron Ridge Mountains, Piltover might not have been able to have the peace of recent decades.

This is also the reason why the members of the parliament are somewhat laissez-faire and indulgent towards Zaun, which is separated between the city-state and the empire, which is an excellent buffer.

There are many other headaches for Piltover leadership, the warlike empire that occupies a vast territory in the eastern part of the continent is still like a moat between them and Demacia, and no matter how the 'City of Progress' wants to support Demacia, it cannot bypass the Noxian blockade.

And the containment proposed by King Jiawen III made the parliamentarians frown, which is not easy to grasp. It really provoked the belligerent empire, and as soon as this army turned around and entered the peninsula, Piltover was not like the Federation with enough strength to deal with it, and it would be a drama that would lead to trouble.

If there were a border with Demacia, it would be very convenient to be interdependent.

Some of the nimble councillors set their sights on the ancient country of Ionia across the Channel, but Lux's reply dispelled them.

That ancient country with a strait moat, like the most stubborn old man, only wants to enjoy the pleasure of cultivating immortals and attaining enlightenment beyond the world.

Of course, these councillors were also a little sick and rushed to the hospital, and it was impossible for them, who had a lot of trade with Ionia, not to know the attitude of that ancient country.

Standing outside the inner circle of the garden, Ezreal's father, Councillor Capet, quietly observed how Lux was able to cope with his worried colleagues. From the point of view of a diplomat, this beautiful girl is qualified, but if you use the standard requirements of a diplomatic ambassador, the girl is still a little immature.
