Chapter 218: Bad News
"Young man, I may have never known Piltover!" Heimerdinger found Lin Jiu, his eyes full of sadness and self-blame. Once you understand the principles of the spread and growth of these shadows, it is simply an exhibition that reveals people's hearts.
The shadow monsters of the parliamentarians who speak high-sounding words in parliament and show themselves for the future development of Piltover show him the darker side of the city.
"Professor, it's useless for you to learn! You are a mentor, not a leader. Lin Jiu saw it very thoroughly, Datou would not be a qualified leader, and naturally he would not be able to change the status quo of Piltover and Zuan.
There is no shortage of brilliant and talented people in that world or in that era, and there will always be geniuses born in every era, who will streak across the night sky like a comet or shine as brightly as the sun.
And in an era of slightly backward technology, scientists and inventors are obviously destined to lead this era!
The Yodel's hometown, Bandel City, is a magical city, one of the best magical cities in Valoran, and in that magical city, you can hardly see any technological products, but all that changed after the advent of Heimerdinger, a true scientific genius.
It has to be said that Heimerdinger has the ability to take on the title of the greatest scientist in the world, he is a pioneer in many new sciences, and he has been relentlessly exploring the path of combining magic and technology, provided that there is no shadow of Rune Wars for him.
After witnessing the unbearable damage that powerful arcane magic inflicted on the world and lives in Rune Wars, Heimerdinger began to fear and reject magic.
But it is impossible to deny his excellence as a mentor, and Victor has also expressed his admiration and yearning for the knowledge of this great inventor many times in small talk.
"After I went through that rune war, I grew old and started to be as afraid as the other councillors of the new things that were out of my control." Heimerdinger couldn't help but feel lost. Especially when you've seen real, Undertown scenes.
"The best way to deal with fear is to face it with a smile...... Lin Jiu swallowed the second half of his sentence.
"The man who said this must be a wise man!" Heimerdinger stroked his beard and sighed.
"Perhaps!"
"Maybe it's time to put the future of the city in the hands of young people! Afterwards, I'd better go back to the academy and become a professor. Heimerdinger seemed to be a little older, but a little more energetic than before.
“……”
Lin Jiu didn't wait for Camille's side to be confirmed, but the bad news from the bottom city reached him first. The army of shimmering xenos can't stop it!
And the main reason is not that there is a stronger force on the side of the shadow monster group. A strange mist permeated the Undercity, which had no effect on any life other than the Shimmer Xenomorphs.
Only the shimmering xenomorphs were directly dull after being exposed to this mist, and the purple blood vessels on their skin were directly dull, and the body size of the shimmering xenomorphs also shrank slightly.
In addition to not being infected by shadows, no pain, and no fear of death, the weakened Shimmer xenomorph is not much stronger than ordinary thugs, especially the resilience is greatly inhibited.
Due to the current situation in the city, Victor, Hilko and others can only stop fighting and evacuate temporarily.
"Take me to Philos's house!" Lin Jiu picked a person, and no one with a bit of status would not know where the Philos family was located. Then the building of a big family can't be hidden at all, and what needs to be hidden is to build another secret building. At least the Philos family on the surface is still easy to find.
"Camille, this ally you're looking for is really strong. Not bad! "The current head of the Philos family, Camille's father, Rodri Philos, received information that Lin Jiu had killed Shadow Mydalda before Camille returned. Combined with their efforts to investigate the battle at the Endcity, they praised Camille's chosen ally.
"Are you married?" After Rodri Philos praised Camille, he also asked in passing. Apparently asking about Lin Jiu's situation.
Under Camille's calm expression, there were waves in her eyes, her father and she were really heroes! Such a high-quality young man, if he can win over their family, he will definitely not lose.
"He didn't have the will." Camille replied blandly to the question.
"Haha, our daughter has her own ideas." Rodri Philos couldn't help but laugh when he heard this answer. Obviously, the other party is good enough to attract the attention of his daughter.
"It doesn't seem like the time to discuss this." Camille thought that Lin Jiu was still waiting for a reply to this plan, and pulled the topic back to the conversation.
Speaking of business, the elder at the conference table who had just shown his aunt's smile with Rodri Philos suddenly became serious, and seriously discussed the pros and cons of the bait scheme.
"The whispers and melodies that echo within the primordial crystal are certain to come from an incredibly terrifying being. Even the negative energy brought about by even a trace of will is extremely huge! Browl Philos, who was similar to the patriarch, spoke.
The same elder Goddard Philos continued as Browl's words, "Once the Source of Shadows can withstand this power and succeed in devouring it, we can only give up Piltover. ”
Camille, who supported Lin Jiu's plan from the bottom of her heart, was not dissatisfied with the words of these two, but felt stable. As was customary at the meetings of the Philos family, proposals that were inclined to be rejected were generally rejected at key points after listing some merits.
On the other hand, the opinion that tends to agree is naturally to list a few points of concern before expressing the need to adopt the proposal.
"But......" Rodri Philos's twist came immediately: "If we don't get rid of the source as soon as possible, maybe we will give up Piltover and maybe meet these things in the future." ”
"Someone's coming!"
"Oh! It seems that he is still a young man after all, and he can't wait! Broll chuckled. Everyone present also smiled, clearly agreeing with Brower's words.
Camille was silent on the surface, and in her heart she was seriously examining her people.
"Maybe they're no longer fit to be in charge of the Philos family!" Camille couldn't help but squint slightly. When his father was in the prime of life, he held the power of the family, and now it seems that other people have thoughts that they shouldn't have.
Although it is generally impossible to do anything that harms the interests of the family, in Camille's eyes, hindering the development and growth of the family's power is like infringing on the interests of the family.
