CHAPTER XXIV

"Councillor? No, no, no, Piltover already has 8 MPs, and I don't think there is a need for one more. Mel's face froze, and he refused repeatedly.

If one more member of parliament with a Noxian background is added, her existing transcendent position in parliament will collapse.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that her status in Noxus was much lower than Ryan's, and her mother would not stand up for her.

"Then you're going to have to vote, and I think you can handle that. Yes, Ms. Camille. ”

"Cowardly, incompetent, noisy, ignorant, stupid. I haven't been back for so many years, and seeing you again is still so useless. ”

Bite! Bite! Bite!

The sound of swords on the floor tiles was accompanied by an ethereal female voice with sarcasm.

The door to the council was pushed open again, and the magistrates at the door still did not dare to stop them, and even knelt on one knee.

Coming in was a tall woman with short silver hair and legs made by a mechanical blade. She had a countenance that was colder than that of Caterina, and her eyes glistened with a blinding blue glow as she stared at each of the councillors sitting in their seats.

"You're back..."

Heimerdinger, who sat at the head of the council, sighed.

"If I don't come back, Piltover will be gone. They're useless idiots. Camille stepped forward and walked over to the female councillor's seat.

"Welcome back, Lady Philos."

The woman stood up respectfully and made way for Camille as she entered.

"Who is she?"

Vi watched as Kamil sat down and whispered in Catelyn's ear.

"I don't know, I know that the head of the Philos family is Stivan, the richest man in Leather City." Caitlin also looked at the strong woman in confusion.

"It's a pity that all the descendants have forgotten my name." Camille raised an eyebrow, "But there are a lot of new faces." ”

She looked around and commented to the new councillors one by one:

"Mydarda, your mother's knife is too slow, and sooner or later there will be a dull day, when you should collect the body of your stupid brother."

Her gaze looked at Caitlyn beside her:

"Gilamane? The true resemblance of your mother, she was like you when she was young, wanting to protect the justice in her heart, but she did not implement it completely. ”

"I'm not like my mother, shouldn't you say your name?" Caitlin restrained her anger.

"Interesting, it seems that your mother rarely tells you bedtime stories. Child, my name is Camille, Camille of the Philos family, the guardian of the city. Camille's eyes shimmered with blue light, and there was a smile in them.

"Hex!? Did you implant Hextech in your body? ”

Jace, who had been observing Camille, couldn't help but exclaim, he was the most familiar with Hex, and he saw through the blue light in her eyes for the first time.

On the other side, Victor, who was standing behind Ryan, also noticed this, and he couldn't help but look at the other party twice, and then at the other party's mechanical legs, and fell into deep thought.

Before he arrived this morning, Ryan had told him that there would be a man in Council today who would inspire him. Now, he thinks he's seen.

With the Hex's core implanted in the body and the body replaced by a machine, is there a more interesting idea in the world?

Victor's gaze, hidden behind the monocle, flashed with enlightenment, as if a new path had been opened before him.

Camille didn't care about Jace's surprise, but looked at him with interest, and began to mutter:

"Oh? What a good vision, you are the founder of Hextech - Jace Tallis? Heimerdinger, can you imagine the surprise I was when I heard about Piltover in Ionia when he heard about Hextech. It's funny that this is a science that you have forbidden. ”

Heimerdinger said in a deep voice: "Camille, I still don't think it's right to continue studying it, studying Hextech is like studying magic, and Piltover will be destroyed at its hands." This power is now in the hands of Victor, and it is a threat to Leather City. ”

"Then you should argue with Tallis all day, there is no right or wrong power, we need Hextech as Piltover's blade."

Camille crossed her legs and said leisurely to Jace:

"Kid, do you know the Shell Terry?"

"Shell people? I hadn't heard the name. "Jace Weilen.

"Look, Heimerdinger, you don't even tell him about the danger, you only talk about it?" Camille's smile was playful.

"Councillor Tallis, I'll give you some science."

Ryan smiled, but his eyes gestured to Victor behind him.

Said it was for Jace, but in fact it was also for Victor to give a lecture.

"The Shell Humans have a very long history, they originally originated from Shurima, and the first large-scale discovery in recent years was in the underground of Zaun, where many crystals made by the Shell Humans are still buried."

"Crystals?" Jace seemed to understand something, and his face was surprised.

"The Hex Crystal you named is essentially the primordial crystal that the Shell Terran fused with."

Ignoring Jace and Victor's shock, Ryan went on to elaborate:

"Long before humans set foot in the scorching yellow sands of Shurima, this desert was filled with unrestrained primordial magical power. Between a group of precipitous cliffs and jagged rocks, there is a hidden canyon.

"There, the ancient Shell people unearthed the primordial crystals deep in the desert. Every noble Shell Man will merge with a crystal, and after their death, their consciousness will be stored in the crystal for a long time, which is the origin of the Hex Crystal. ”

"So, that means there's a lot of Hex Primordial Crystals in the underground mines of Zaun?" Jace couldn't help but ask.

The crystals he used for his research had been financed by the Gillamon family and later supplied by Mel, and he did not know exactly where they came from.

"That's right, kid. Originally, it was guarded by our Firos family, but because of my incompetent brother, it was taken by Myrdalda. ”

Camille looked at Mel with an indifferent gaze:

"I heard that the mine was lost a few days ago, and it has been returned to Zuan."

"We didn't have enough defense, and Zaun took it." Mel had a bitter look on his face.

"It's useless." Camille shook her head, "First of all, according to Piltover's rules, we will vote first, and I will represent the Philos family as the ninth member of the Parliament, does anyone disagree?" ”

Under Camille's gaze, everyone, including Mel and Heimerdinger, agreed.

Soon, there was another seat on the councilor's table, and she sat on it.

"She's so majestic, I like her personality, that is, she seems to have an opinion about Noxus, but she can only endure it." Vi whispered in Catelyn's ear again.

Caitlin looked puzzled: "You can see this?" ”

"Well, look at that Noxian, he always has a hypocritical smile on his face, he has never looked at us directly, and he looks at the new councillor with a serious look in his eyes." Wei analyzed.

"I thought you only knew about fighting. What about Congressman Philos? Caitlin quipped.

"I was born in Downtown, oh yes, now I'm called Zuan. If you don't have some eyesight, you will be secretly killed. ”

Wei muttered:

"She's better understood, haven't you noticed, she has a strong personality, but she only entered the door when her name was called, I guess if you were the mage, she would have slashed you in the face with one leg, and the knife on her leg gave me a feeling of extreme danger."

"I'm Mrs. Piltworth, how could she do that to me." Caitlyn said angrily, "I remember some things about Councillor Philos, maybe I'll have to call someone grandma according to my age." ”

"It's not unusual, I can see that her silver hair is real." Instead, Wei nodded thoughtfully.

Camille sat down in the seat of the councillor belonging to the Philos family, twisted her neck to look around, and was the first to speak:

"We don't have time to waste, let's get straight to the point. I'm proposing to fully develop Hextech and Amplification Technologies, and I'll lead the team to destroy Zaun. ”
