At noon the next day, Ryan, who was still dining, had already received a message from Leather City.

As of today, the number of seats in the Piltover parliament has been changed from seven to eight, and Jess Tallis has officially become the first member of the Piltover to be the first member of parliament in Piltover's history.

At the beginning of his tenure, Jace made a promise that he would protect the safety of Hextech, the property of Mrs. Piltworth, and the people of Pitford.

"After a restless yesterday, he became the biggest winner." Caterina raised her eyebrows slightly, "It is said that Mel and the Myrdalda family are behind it. ”

She cares more about Mel than Jace about becoming a councilor. is also an exiled daughter, and the other party seems to have more brains than her. Although she was able to wring off the other party's head in a very short period of time, following Ryan in the past few days, she also began to realize...

Most of the time, the brain is more important than force.

"It is not surprising that the Myrdalda family has two fixed seats in parliament, and together with the other two members of parliament with whom they have a deep relationship, the Myrdalda family has nearly half of Piltover's voice."

Ryan's expression was flat, and occupying four of the eight seats would never be Mel's ultimate goal. The woman aspired to occupy at least five seats in Parliament. Or, let 8 become 7 again.

Caterina put down the knife and fork in her hand, thought for a moment and said, "That woman is very talented, but I always feel that she will play with herself." ”

"Assassin's intuition?" Ryan asked with a smile.

"I don't like that woman." Katerina was blunt.

"Jace Taris is the pride of the people of Pit, and there's nothing wrong with falling into it." Ryan teased.

Caterina snorted coldly: "Once a woman falls into the blindness of love, she will inevitably do something very stupid. ”

"Time will tell, as long as he doesn't betray Noxus and doesn't turn his back on his family, he will still be our friend." Ryan said.

Mel had always been attached to the family to grow up, and he didn't think that one day she would give up her family position for Jace, who gave her everything, something that Jace and Piltover couldn't give.

"Your Excellency..."

The soldier from the embassy respectfully walked up to Ryan and whispered:

"Someone wants to visit you, it's a gentleman with leg problems."

"Bring him here, he's a friend of my Noxus, with an intellectual talent worthy of respect." Ryan nodded lightly.

When the soldier heard this, his face immediately turned grim, nodded solemnly, and ran quickly towards the door.

Noxus admires any talented person, no matter what aspect of talent, should be respected.

Soon, Victor was helped into the dining room by the soldiers.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Victor, do you need to have the attendant prepare a lunch for you?"

"No... I've already eaten it. I'm sorry to bother, Lord Ryan. ”

Victor was not used to being helped to sit on the seat, and just as his hands were trying to find a fulcrum, the crutches had been put in the most suitable position by the soldiers.

Seeing the soldier leave with his luggage respectfully, Victor was a little uncomfortable:

"Are all the soldiers of Noxus like this?"

"Not all, the soldiers stationed in Piltover had to learn reception etiquette, and the soldiers of Freljord and Shurima were required to be physically strong and have a strong stomach for drinking." Ryan explained.

He could see that it was the first time that Victor had been received in such a reception, but it was a must in Noxus.

If you want to survive in Noxus, you have to learn something, and you have a skill so that you won't be looked down upon.

Serving others is not derogatory in Noxus, and for most of the underclass, it is definitely a valuable craft.

Victor digested Ryan's words for a moment, and suddenly asked, "What about Zuan?" ”

Hearing this question, Ryan was slightly stunned, but quickly reacted and said:

"It depends on the style and leader of Zu'an, and there is no need to have two embassies in the upper and lower cities. Victor, I don't think your dream is to be a mere assistant. ”

"Lord Ryan..."

Victor clenched and released his fist, and after a while, his expression showed unhesitating firmness, and his eyes looked at Ryan expectantly:

"I've always had a dream that was out of reach. What I want is for the Zauns to have the same rights as Mrs. Piltworth, not for the councillors to be on top of each other, as is the case in parliament today, and not to treat the Zaun residents as human beings. ”

Jace's compromise and the arrogance of the people of Leather made him understand that by handing Hex into the hands of this group, Zaun would not be able to have a prosperous day.

Instead, the gap between Zaun and Piltover will grow wider and wider, until the uptown people can arbitrarily decide the life and death of the people in the lower city...

And all of this is pointed out by the person in front of him.

In fact, before coming, Victor knew very well in his heart that the other party was not without wants. Maybe it's Zu An, maybe it's him, he has something in mind.

But this reassured him, he was fed up with the Piltover demeanor of saying nice things on the face and not being moved in the slightest.

"Even if you turn your back on your partner, even if you disappoint your teacher because of this, even if you give up the future of Hextech because of this?"

Ryan slowly wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, and every sentence seemed to pierce Victor's heart.

"I..."

Victor's mouth opened slightly, just about to say something. But in a trance, countless memories surged up in his mind.

Imagine Hex's future with Jace, follow Mr. Heimerdinger's learning journey, and study the thoughts that fascinated Hex.

Everything washed over his mind all the time, making it difficult for him to make a choice, and even his determined face began to waver.

He hid his face with his hands and lowered his head, not wanting the other party to see his eyes full of pain and entanglement.

In fact, he had thought that Ryan would bring this up, but when he was faced with a choice, he realized that saying it was far from being as simple as he thought.

Piltover seems to have too many memories to let go.

"Victor, look up."

Vidocq looked up slightly, and he saw the encouragement in Ryan's eyes, like an invitation from a demon...

"Sometimes, humans are very hot-blooded and think they can do it. The choice is simple, a decision can be made with a single tap on the brain. But success is difficult, and it may take a lot of time and effort, but in the end, it will be a failure. ”

"What do you mean—" Victor was a little surprised.

"Don't let ideals blind you, Victor, you need to have a clear plan for your future. I made an appointment with a Zuan this afternoon, have you ever thought of going with me to see it? ”

"Zaun... Thank you so much, Lord Ryan. Victor's face was bitter.

His heart was actually very confused, just now, he didn't have the confidence not to be persuaded by Ryan.

It was clear that the other party could crush him with the power of words, and even make him betray Piltover, but Ryan didn't do that, and he wanted to know why.

"How about decorating yourself later, pretending to be a Noxian, and trying to experience your hometown in a different way?" Ryan suddenly smiled and came up with an idea.

Victor wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it carefully, maybe it would also be a good experience, so he nodded:

"I think Your Excellency just lacks an entourage."

"The soldiers just now will help you, see you later, Victor."

"I'll see you later, Lord Ryan."
