Chapter 36 Parliamentary Accountability

The next day, the Piltover Parliament.

The round table, which could have been full, was deserted, and only a few people came to the council.

"Since when did we need to meet so often?"

Mel sat in the seat belonging to the councillor, and his words did not carry any emotion, like a normal daily greeting.

"Good day, Lord of the Sty family. I thought you wouldn't be here today. ”

"I was almost killed yesterday, shouldn't you say something?"

Stewan frowned, seemingly observing the rest of the councillors, but his eyes remained focused on Camille.

"Tell me, Marcos, what happened last night." Mel asked as he fiddled with his fingers.

Although Jace was also involved last night, Camille was the leader, and she was happy to see the other party's jokes.

What's more, the dead parliamentarian was Heimerdinger's person, and he had nothing to do with her, and it was a good thing that he died.

It's a pity that the Philos family was only burned with flowers and plants, and it would be wonderful if the whole thing was blown up.

"Ladies and gentlemen!"

Marcos was full of excitement, saluted, and hurriedly reported:

"Last night, our shore defense line was breached, and the law enforcement officers guarding were all dead, and the traces of the shot should be the strength of Hextech. In addition, explosions occurred in the Academy's tower and the Philos Manor, killing a councillor and five innocent people, and injuring dozens more. ”

"Hex's power, Victor has the ability? At night, he fought with Councillor Camille, and divided his forces to attack us. ”

Mel glanced at Stewan with a vague look, the Myrdalda family was not weak in Piltover, and she knew very well what happened last night.

"This... I don't know much about the specific situation of the three parliamentarians yesterday. ”

Marcos lowered his head, thinking of the promise made at Philos Manor last night, and added again:

"I've heard, though, that Councillor Gilamane has brought a Zaun prisoner. Moreover, they don't seem to have gained anything. ”

"What do you mean? Wei helped us a lot yesterday, do you want to throw the responsibility on us? ”

"Councillor Giraman, I didn't mean that. It's just that... If you and Congressman Tallis were able to do so, we might lose a lot less. ”

Marcos's eyes wandered, but the words that came out of his mouth were unusually bold.

"We fought all night in Zu'an, and we almost couldn't come back, and we didn't have less sweat than you left." Caitlyn snapped.

"I almost didn't come back... In other words, you failed, and we almost lost four councillors in one night. And you guys did it on your own, we didn't know what happened last night. ”

The parliamentarian who had given up his seat to Camille before spoke lightly, but his tone seemed to be questioning.

"Can you protect Piltover? It's really not going to work, we can ask Noxus to do it! ”

Councillor Humpty Dumpty slapped the table, a little emotional.

Had it not been for the presence of one of your Excellency in his mansion this morning, he would have been on the airship bound for the Immortal Fortress.

Yesterday a councillor died!

In the future, who knows if it was he who died.

But fortunately, there were people who were willing to keep him safe, and he also reached a consensus with the people on the other side, which made him feel relieved.

"Don't worry, Mr. Senator, we used to develop people's livelihood too much, and it always took a little bit to transform it into armaments... A little time. ”

Mel smiled, her thumb and forefinger at a short distance, and then she said:

"Of course, I think Councillor Camille can give us an accurate answer. Neither your family nor we, the councillors, want to live in fear. ”

"This has nothing to do with Councilor Camille, it's that we're too weak, and you don't know what Victor and Hilco did, they made people take Shimmer as a disposable weapon, and they also created a batch of robots that can harness the energy of Hex's gems." Caitlin retorted.

"I don't care what they have or what they do. What I am concerned about now is whether our security can be guaranteed. ”

The blonde MP admired his manicure, and lightly pointed out the crux of the problem.

They were in a hurry to hold a meeting early the next morning, not because they were afraid that they would be the next to be killed in their home.

Not everyone was Myrdard and Philos, and the dead councillor's house wasn't badly defended, but he and four bodyguards, as well as a butler, were all dead.

Even now, Camille didn't say a word, her eyes were still staring straight at StevΓ‘n, her face expressionless.

Jace's face struggled for a moment, but thinking of what happened last night, he pursed his lips:

"If Professor Heimerdinger agrees, our Piltover defenses can also be loaded with Hex Gems, whether it's the Magistrate's weapons or vehicles."

"Good reply, Professor Heimerdinger, what is your opinion? You are the current designer of all of Piltover's weapons. Mel turned his gaze to Heimerdinger.

"I don't really agree with the development of Hextech, it has already brought too many tragedies. But if we don't do that, we will be the ones who will be hurt in the end. With the death of the MP, there is no room for recovery for us and Zaun. ”

Heimerdinger's face was full of sorrow, and his hand was raised and lowered, and finally he lamented:

"I hope this power doesn't bring destruction, Jace, and I'll open up all the weapon blueprints to you and help with that."

"Thank you for your support, Professor Heimerdinger." With a serious face, Jace stood up and bowed respectfully to Heimerdinger.

When it comes to weapon development, Heimerdinger is an expert, and he does some hexical modifications at most.

"The security matter is half settled, but last night's incident, shouldn't we talk about it?"

After having a life guarantee, Humpty Dumpty Congressman took the lead in attacking:

"Doesn't it mean to keep the surface peace first, to wait for us to convert the economy into military power? I didn't know we had an operation against Zaun last night, and now that the Enforcement Bureau is under the command of Councillor Camille, there is no emergency plan? ”

"This is the first time that our coastal wall has been lost, and this should not be held accountable by Councillor Camille. Besides, shouldn't we be looking to the bottom of the other side? Caitlin protested.

She hated these idle councillors, who were fighting in Zaun last night, and who couldn't do anything but drag their feet.

"Get to the bottom of it, and then we killed a councilor. If this really starts a war, how many of you here can live? We need to arm ourselves for a while. "I think we have to talk to Zaun's talker." ”

"What are you kidding? The threat of Zaun is imminent, and you still want to make peace? Caitlin's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Can you take responsibility for last night's incident? Gilamann, how are you going to appease the people who were affected last night? The female parliamentarian said lightly, "Money? You're now boarding at Councillor Tallis's house by yourself. Promise? Piltoverf does not believe in the promise of false big empty. The female councillor flicked her fingers, and her calm words pierced Caitlyn's heart.

But her eyes were not fixed on Caitlyn, her eyes fixed on Camille, waiting for an answer.

"Iβ€”" Caitlin opened her mouth and clenched her teeth, her face full of grief and indignation.
