"One of the developers of Hextech, that Piltover is your partner! It's amazing. Lin Jiu looked at the huge banner flying in the sky, with the name of the new councillor Jess written on it, and said with a smile.

"I can't afford it, I just want to do something to change the city's problems!" Victor got a tube of shimmering elixir from Sinjid, the same tube that Lin Jiu had seen, but he was still frowning and worried.

In the few lives he had left, he couldn't see progress on Hex's core, which made him feel hopeless, even a little crazy, otherwise he wouldn't have accepted Sinjid's Shimmer Elixir.

"For the sake of a better world, should we work harder? I've always believed only the second half of the sentence. Lin Jiu smiled lightly, the person in front of him who was inspired to change the world couldn't escape the fate of being changed by the world in the end.

"I really can't believe that you are from the Bottom City?" Victor heard the other party's words, and was stunned for a moment before looking at Lin Jiu, who was smiling next to him. He himself was a man from the bottom city, and in his eyes, Lin Jiu was more like a nobleman from Piltover.

Lin Jiu's smile froze: "I just came up from the bottom city to take a look, not from the bottom city." It's not that I look down on somewhere, there's any discrimination, it's the opposite that I should emphasize my origins. ”

Victor apologized and understood, and would be upset if someone separated him from the Undercity.

Jace: Ahem......

"Red ...... Do you have any research into rune magic? Victor looked at Lin Jiu with an inexplicable gaze. The more he studied the Hexcore, the more he felt the power of runic magic.

Technology Harnesses Magic...... The idea that Jace came up with is now being realized. But Victor, who has been studying the core of Hex, knows that this world is a world of rune magic!

He wondered if he could study Hex's core in reverse from a magical point of view in a different way?

It's a pity that there is no trace of a magician in this place, except for the inventor and the alchemist. No one could help him verify this idea, and knowing that Lin Jiu was from the outside world, Victor asked with a little hope.

"Rune magic, I don't dare to say about it, I can only say that it is some simple understanding!" Lin Jiu directly told Victor the truth.

Victor wasn't too disappointed, after all, Lin Jiu had already introduced himself at the beginning, a mechanic who had come from afar. And some of the knowledge certainly won't be at the level of what they have heard.

"Red! Can you help me with my research? "If it were Victor, who had just started working on Hex's core, he would never have invited someone who had just met for a short time to participate in such an important research.

But now it's different, Victor he's dying! This is not what he fears the most, what he fears most is that his hopes for the benefit of the people will be dashed!

Relying on Jace? They're already thinking about using Hextech as a weapon to use in war. You can feel that they are drifting away.

On the way to the research institute, Lin Jiu briefly told Victor about the magic of the Runeterra.

"In my opinion, the world is full of magical energy, which means that all the power in this world comes from magical energy. And the concrete manifestation of this energy is basically manifested in three things!

The first is called magic skills, in which the magician directs the magical energy scattered throughout the world to follow a certain trajectory so that he can exert a variety of abilities.

The second type is magic equipment, which as the name suggests, is some equipment. Most of them are magical objects formed by the first type of magician channeling this energy into a specific item. And with the advent of your Hextech, there's one more source of magical equipment!

The third is talent. Due to the fact that there is too much magical energy in the land of runeterra, some places with strong energy have gradually appeared in the form of magical abilities in physical form. This manifests itself in the fact that some biological races are born with special abilities......"

Victor listened calmly, his knowledge of rune magic was not what he himself said, but only by listening. And when he said it to Munn, he would believe it.

Lin Jiu didn't know that it was just Victor's modesty, and Hex's core was magic with a technological shell. Victor, who has studied this for a long time, definitely has a good understanding, and the main thing is to listen to Lin Jiu's opinions, whether it really helps Hex's core research.

"Victor I...... Well? This, who is this? "A woman with glasses and some documents in her arms saw Victor appear at the institute, as if there was a light in her eyes. Then he saw that Victor was still followed by others, and instantly restrained his emotions, for fear of being discovered by others.

Lin Jiu remembered that this female assistant was the one who turned to ashes in the original work in order to save Victor.

"Not bad! There are little fan girls! Lin Jiu squeezed Victor's shoulder with his elbow and smiled.

"I ...... Uh...... "Victor is obsessed with scientific research, where does he have the experience to face such an occasion, and he is restrained, not to mention the female assistant who has a crush on Victor." For a while, the atmosphere was as if Lin Jiu was the master of this research institute.

The "master" Lin Jiu has already come to the place where Victor usually studied, and the blood stains on the metal laboratory table have been wiped clean. Looking at the Hex core in front of him, Lin Jiu couldn't help but think a little more.

Hexcore prototype

Quality: Dark purple

Category: Special Bloodline Items

Bloodline Binding: Victor

Effect: "Glorious Evolution", 50% chance to complete the mechanical ascension, reborn; 50% chance of death.

"Mechanical Pioneer", +5 Intelligence, +200 Mana, +10 Skill Strength.

Synopsis: Flesh and blood are weak, and the machine is soaring; Glorious evolution, only to achieve eternal life!

Growth Condition: Sacrifice life

Note: Unnotarized items.

"Hiss......" Lin Jiu saw the dark purple quality Hex core, not only that, but this thing is actually a prop that can be grown. Thinking of the glorious path of evolution, although it is a bit surprising, it is also reasonable.

It is estimated that the first sacrifice received last time was some blood of Victor, and the bloodline binding object has already locked Victor. Even so, Victor still has a 50% chance of dying if he uses the Hex Core to evolve. Powerful and dangerous, that's what you're talking about!

I don't know what the upper limit is, Lin Jiu retracted his gaze on Hex's core and paid more attention to other mechanical equipment. Lin Jiu, who used [Victor's Notes] to improve his level of mechanics, was naturally very familiar with the mechanical style created by Victor.

Victor paid careful attention to Lin Jiu's expression. Hex's core is important, and he's once again determining whether the other side has ulterior motives.

Lin Jiu regretted that even if he had ulterior motives, it was not for the core of Hex, and it was useless to get his hands on this thing. He already had a plan in his mind, and the more he thought about it, the more feasible it became!
