"Camille will be very busy these days, she has too many things to deal with when she comes back, Piltover will not take the initiative to start a war in a hurry, you still have time."

In the basement of the Noxian Embassy, Ryan was facing Victor, and there were more than a dozen Hex Primordial Crystals neatly placed on the table.

"Your Excellency, I understand. The word has reached Hilco, who is better at this than I am. Victor nodded earnestly.

A day had passed since the end of Parliament, and everyone was still immersed in the return of the Philos family to the Legislature, and preparations for war were concealed and known only to a few concerned.

Camille has taken over the ranks of sheriffs and is currently working on them to keep the recruits from firing in a long time.

Ryan picked up an original gem with his right hand, rubbed it and put it down, with a solemn face:

"Before I tell you about the mechanical ascension, I'll make sure you know a little bit about the basics of Runeterra. How much do you know about the limits of what the human body can reach? ”

"The limits of the flesh... After being injected with Shimmer, the test subject was able to bend steel with his bare hands, and General Darius of Noxus was said to be invulnerable. Victor said with a frown.

"General Darius's flesh is much better than you think, even if he is targeted by a cutting-edge battery, four batteries at the same time will not be fatally wounded." Ryan had a little playfulness on his face.

Compared to Darius, Ionia's girl who played with knives was more memorable to him, and he and the Commander teamed up to almost never fight each other.

The commander also had a hand cut off, although the other party's body carried some mysterious external force of Ionia at that time, but the other party really didn't talk about science, and magic couldn't break the defense.

"How is that possible!?"

Victor exclaimed at this moment, Ryan's description of Darius was beyond his knowledge of humans.

At least in his eyes, only magicians can block the cutting-edge turret, which is the fundamental reason why he is willing to give up his body.

"Don't think of humanity as weak, remember the five paths I said earlier." Ryan warned, "To give you an idea of your mechanical body, I'll give you the example of someone you know well, and let me think about who would be a good fit..."

Ryan thought for a few seconds, and a smile appeared on his face:

"Take the eldest lady of the Gilamane family, for example, Miss Caitlyn is a standard Pi City sheriff template."

Victor nodded, he didn't care who the standard of combat power was, he just wanted to know more about the world.

"Something more powerful than her, Jace Tallis, your most familiar partner, his physique is about the same as elite Noxus, about 3-5 times that of Caitlin."

"His family is a hammer maker, and he has practiced forging since he was a child, and I have seen his strength and muscles."

Victor nodded approvingly, and it was not surprising that Jace was only comparable to an elite soldier.

Not to mention that Jace is a scientist who uses technology to fight, even Piltover cannot compare to Noxus, the number one power today. If Jace could rival the general of Noxus, he would find it incredible.

"He's still growing, and if he uses amplification technology, or if he uses Hextech for a long time, it will slowly strengthen his physique, making him close to Camille's."

"Councillor Camille has a metal prosthetic leg on the lower half of her body, and I can't see what it's made of." Victor sighed.

"Every breakthrough in her body was the crystallization of the entire city of Piltover at that time, and the Philos family was Piltover's heaven."

Ryan didn't want Victor to dwell on this, but only encouraged: "If Zuan can really become an independent city recognized by all countries in the future, you can also have the resources to do that." ”

"Alright, let's get back to business, Camille's level, which is called a hero in Runeterra, not counting her legs, is at least 30 times the size of Caitlyn, or even higher." Ryan made an analogy.

"Heroic... Your Excellency must be one of them. ”

Victor exclaimed, with a certain fascination in his expression, as if he had found a small target.

Ryan shrugged his shoulders slightly, noncommittal:

"Mages are different from warriors, I'm not as strong as you think, I was born with water magic, so I'm just a support mage. And I'm in poor health, and having magic comes at a price. ”

Victor looked at his weak boss strangely, and he didn't believe it at all, but the other party had killed a mage in Ionis who had seven in and seven out.

The more Ryan said this, the more he felt that the other party was more mysterious and elusive.

"Don't talk about this, that's all for general science. As for some of the heroes of Ionia, General Darius, Galen of Demacia, and other higher-level characters, you should not get in touch too early, and the first step is to set your goal at the hero level. ”

There is one thing Ryan didn't say, Camille is not as good as those legs, but counting those legs, she is not weaker than those who are one level higher.

However, he believed in Victor, and this was also some kind of test he gave the other party.

"I understand, Lord Ryan. By the standards of heroics, how many Hex Crystals are suitable for the core? ”

Victor glanced at the table full of Hex's primordial crystals, his eyes reflecting their blue light.

He understood what Ryan meant by this, and told him not to be too ambitious and not to be presumptuous.

Under the urging of this Excellency, there is at least the certainty of evolving to the heroic level.

"The most basic hero level is about 3 is enough, but now there is a problem." Ryan looked at Victor with a serious look on his face.

"Speak, please."

"Your soul can't withstand this power at once, and even one is in danger." Ryan said.

Normally, the Ascension of the Machine is supposed to fuse consciousness with the machine, but in the laws of Runeterra, consciousness fuses with the soul, and certain runes can manipulate the soul.

Ryan is not a soul master, but the Immortal Fortress has the most soul books, and he has been exposed to a lot.

But even then, he was able to preside over the transfer, and once the process began, the results would be irreversible.

"I'm just an ordinary person, and of course I can't withstand the power of crystals, so I researched this."

With a smile on his lips, Victor took out a hex gem wrapped in runes from his backpack:

"Integrate it into my body, take the place of my heart, and when I regain consciousness, my consciousness will be able to withstand the power of a core."

"Your method is too primitive and full of gambling, have you ever succeeded with test subjects?" Ryan expressed his disapproval.

"I haven't done human experiments, and I've failed with other organisms, but I've calculated that this is the method with the highest probability of success." Victor's hand clenched tightly.

Ryan frowned and scolded, "Mr. Victor, your life now is not only your own, you are no longer the self who needs to gamble your life. ”

“......”

Victor lowered his head, but his gaze remained determined.

Yes, he doesn't need to gamble for physical reasons. But the ascension of the machine is a gamble.

He also wanted to develop steadily, but he knew in his heart that steady development would only lead to the mechanization of his body, and the result would be only 5-10 times that of Caitlyn's physique, and it would not strengthen his soul, which was not the outcome he wanted.

Seeing Victor's expression, Ryan sighed first:

"Well, now that you've made up your mind, I have an idea. Miss Katerina, bring the bucket of potion. ”
