Chapter 3: The Peaceful Piltover

"Is this Piltover? It can be called an advanced and evolved city, which is indeed different from Noxus. ”

Stepping off the airship engraved with the Noxus logo, Ryan stepped into Piltover soil.

The city-state of Piltover is small, but when you look down from the Hexfly Gate at the high point, you can see a large expanse of fine low buildings, wide streets, and the shadow of technology can be seen everywhere.

There are not only sporadic airships flying into the distance, but also sporadic flying machines, which are said to be gadgets made by the Piltover Academy.

The floor of Picheng is paved with white stone bricks, and the low-rise buildings look luxurious and expensive. Even if you look at it from a distance, you can feel the magnificence of the city's gold coins.

"Good afternoon, Lord Meredith. I'm Mel Myrdarda and welcome to Piltover. ”

The elegant, dark-skinned woman stood in front of the Noxus airship and bowed slightly to show her respect.

Ryan glanced at her indifferently, and nodded slightly in return:

"Good afternoon, Ms. Myrdalda. I have met your mother a few times, and she is a valiant and powerful warrior. ”

"In Piltover, please address me as a member of the Myrdalda." Mel's tone was slightly dissatisfied.

"Councillor Myrdalda, you are as naΓ―ve as your mother said. Piltover parliamentarians? In my eyes, this is far less than the status of Myrdada's heir, even if you are an outcast. ”

Ignoring the ugly Mel Myrdada, Ryan strode in the direction of the departure port.

Caterina followed behind him, mocking in her sympathetic eyes. But then I thought about it, I seemed to be no different from Mel, and I was also the most incompetent next generation in my father's mouth. Her fists clenched fiercely, as if only the pain of her fingertips piercing her palms could calm her.

Seeing the two of them go away, although Mel still had anger in his eyes, he still forced a smile on his face and led Ryan towards the city of Piltover.

No Mrs. Piltworth knew Noxus better than she did, a bunch of arrogant men who only showed kindness to the strong.

And now Piltover is not qualified to let Noxus show goodwill. Piltover claims to be neutral, but he needs to not only provide war materials for Noxus, but also help them transport soldiers to fight in various countries.

At the moment, Piltover can only be regarded as an annex of Noxus at best.

"Lord Meredith, I wonder why you're here this time?" Mel asked tentatively, one position behind Ryan.

She had heard of Ryan Meredith, a madman who not only followed his boss into the heart of Ionia, but also returned to Noxus intact as a powerful mage.

Unfortunately, there should be no one to match Piltover at the moment, except for Heimerding.

Ryan's steps paused slightly, and he asked:

"I heard it's your Evolution Day?"

"That's right, today is the biggest day of the year in Piltover." Mel didn't know why Ryan brought it up, but pride still hung on his face.

Evolution Day is a traditional festival in Piltover, with a city-wide celebration and an evening of lectures by the city's most innovative people about the year's new inventions.

Today is undoubtedly the most important day for the city to the outside world. They need to show the world that Piltover is still improving, still looking for advancement and innovation.

"Heimerdinger's theory of the dangers of magic last year was very interesting, and I'd love to hear what he had to say today." A faint smile spread across Ryan's face.

He didn't agree with Heimerdinger's ideas, but simply out of the curiosity of a mage. What kind of confidence did Heimerdinger have to say that the use of magic would destroy the world, and that the world should ban magic.

Because of this lecture on the destruction of magic, many mages became hostile to Piltover, and many of them cut off business with Pietwer.

Of course, except for the military mages in Noxus, most of the other mages squatted at home and only swept the snow in front of the door.

If the mages can really unite to form a guild or something, not to mention the weak Piltover and even the powerful Demacia will not dare to shout for the banning of demons, and if they are in a hurry, they will be defeated by the mages.

Hearing his words, Mel said meaningfully, "That may disappoint Your Excellency Ryan, the speaker of this year's Evolution Day is not Heimerdinger. ”

"Oh? Interestingly, there is no precedent for this. But Heimerdinger's view is a bit old-fashioned, and this year's speaker is Jace Tallis? Ryan guessed.

He had learned about Piltover, a centuries-old seaport city that had brought Heimerdinger to its present heights.

But now, with the establishment of the Hexfly Gate by Piltover, trade has gone up several floors. Jace, who now created Hextech, is a well-deserved speaker.

Suddenly, Ryan's face turned strange and he even stopped moving forward.

"Councillor Myrdalda, although Evolution Day is very exciting. However, the security of your city is really worrying. ”

His eyes were on a dilapidated airship not far away. Just now, his keen perception led him to discover the weapon inside.

Isn't it said that Piltover is a peaceful and peaceful city-state? Chaos is also chaos in Zuan, why does it look even more chaotic than Noxus now.

In Mel's blank gaze, the airship that Ryan was watching let out a muffled sound, and gray gas diffused from below, filling the air with the fragrance of gunpowder.

"Damn, it's a bomb?"

Ryan glanced at the angry Mel, and said calmly:

"Relax, the equivalent is not very large, at most blow people to pieces."

It wasn't his nonsense, if his magic wasn't wrong, two unlucky people had been blown to pieces.

As soon as he finished speaking, the roar of guns rang out from the airship, and the outer skin was pierced by the surging bullets, and the sound was huge and earth-shattering.

Ryan listened to the pleasant sound in his ears, his expression was happy, and he turned his head to Mel and smiled:

"The person who uses the gun is either a novice or a madman, and the accuracy is too poor. It was enough bullet to kill a hundred-man squad, and she could have hit her target four or five times, and the children of Noxus were much better than that. ”

"Sorry, Lord Meredith, it looks like I need to miss a moment."

Mel's eyes flickered with rage, and he gestured to the law enforcement team that greeted Ryan, and rushed towards the airship that had caused the accident.

Ryan smiled at the few figures flying out of the airship on a green fire skateboard, and then commanded:

"I need a living one."

"Yes!"

Caterina silently pulled out the two daggers stuck in her back, and her figure disappeared in place as an afterimage.

When she reappeared, she was standing on the guardrail at the edge of the airport.

With her black boots stomping on the guardrail, she stepped onto the green fire skateboard at breakneck speed, kicking the musche cannific man into the airport.

Ignoring the hindrance of the rest of the people on the green fire skateboard, she did not make any stops, pedaled the skateboard as a relay point, and returned to the airport again, the dagger lying across the neck of the strong man.

The rest of the people saw that she was so vigorous, and when they saw the law enforcement officer outflanking her, they had no choice but to leave.

"I'm not sure I'll take down their leader."

Seeing Ryan's gaze, Caterina reported truthfully. She had reflected on yesterday for a long time, and she would never make up her own mind until she had completed her mission.

"There's no need to do anything more, their leader has nothing to do with us, it's our Myrdarda Councillor who should be worried."

Ryan gestured to the other side with interest, and Mel's face was not ordinary after receiving the sheriff's report:

"Councillor Myrdalda, you seem to have discovered something. If you don't mind, I'd like to ask for a little. ”
