Chapter Thirty-Eight: Camille of House Philos
"That's it? I think they'll agree that Zun's affairs are out of Piltover's hands. I had never imagined that Piltover would need to be forced to recognize the independence of Zaun, and it was sad to be terminally ill. ”
Camille had a self-deprecation on her face:
"Meredith, I don't understand what you're hesitating about, you can completely destroy it in an instant with your power, I can't stop you."
As she spoke, her face even decomposed a little more.
"Ms. Camille, why use power to solve things that can be solved with your brain, power is just a guarantee that we will not flip the table." Ryan smiled and shook his head, "Three months is not long, but it is not short, I think you will have a new understanding of the Twin Cities." ”
"Conceit is the most fatal weakness of the strong." Camille was sharp-tongued. "Peace negotiations are always based on equal strength, and you can't always be excellent, Meredith."
"If I can't keep up with excellence, I look forward to the day when I will be surpassed."
Ryan had a confident look on his face, as if he was completely unafraid of any challenger, and even regarded all challenges as fun.
"By the way, Lady Camille, I almost forgot that I received a letter here not long ago."
He clapped his hands, smiled and pulled out a piece of parchment from his bosom, pinched it with two fingers and shook it in his hand, allowing Camille to see the beautiful family magic seal on it.
In the Land of Runeterra, except for the large families of Demacia, they all have their own magic seals, which are equivalent to the symbols of their own families. If there is a magic seal on the document contract, it is equivalent to the handwriting of the patriarch of the family.
He had no family behind him, but he had three seals on his hands, one belonging to Kerkao, who was in charge of Katarina, and one to Svein, the last of which was sent with the letter.
"Alas, he was always like that, thinking that I didn't understand him, that I was like a ruthless machine." Camille's eyebrows were slightly raised, and her eyes were filled with sadness.
She was all too familiar with the seal, the Philos Family Magic Seal, which she had handed over to her brother Stevan.
This letter signifies the submission of the Philos family to Ryan and Knoxa, as well as her outcast by the family.
You don't need to look at her to know that the top of the family's sincerity in joining Noxus is to give her to Ryan or Trefary.
She didn't mean to refuse, she was born to exist for the sake of a strong family. She doesn't agree with Stevan's idea, but she doesn't risk provoking Noxus to gamble.
"Really, don't you look at it?" Ryan saw the resoluteness in the other party's eyes, and regretfully withdrew the letter: "I thought he didn't understand you before, but now I can be sure that he is the one who knows you best." ”
Camille's face was slightly stunned, and there was a rare look of surprise on her face.
Victor stood behind Ryan and glanced at Camille with pity:
"When I was a teaching assistant at the college, my first teacher, who took me to the family library in Philos, where there was an experimental report written by Mr. Stivan."
"I didn't know my brother was still experimenting." Camille raised an eyebrow, a look of amusement on her face.
With memories on his face, Victor muttered, "The 312th Human Mechanization Experiment." Enough data to support the previous conclusion, the human body's emotions are stored deep in the brain, the heart has nothing to do with thoughts, and controlling thoughts requires locking the hormones secreted by the brain. ”
"What does that mean?" Camille looked at Victor with interest.
"You're not absolutely sane, everybody knows that. Lady Camill, there will always be a time when the machine will be retired, let alone your machine, which has not been precise from the beginning. You have been abandoned by your family, or rather, Mr. Stewan wants you to abandon your family. Victor said lightly.
"The latter inference is very interesting, but I think it's the former."
Camille smiled happily, but there was a hint of strangeness in her tone.
She hadn't been back to her family since last night, and she had known what it meant since she was bombed in Zaun yesterday.
I haven't come back for a few years, and the current family is not what it used to be.
She... I don't know when it started and was not needed.
Camille sighed lightly, not a little sad on her face, but with endless ease:
"Meredith, maybe I should really ask a question."
"Svein once said that you are the same kind of person as him, but you are not thorough enough, always shouting that you should decide, but in fact you are the one who is indecisive. You have long understood that Stewan can't be the master of Zhongxing, but you still helped him up, made him addicted to power, and even killed Hakim who was once moved by himself for this. Ryan was ruthless in revealing what the other party had done.
"Admittedly, the only remaining emotion is my greatest weakness. But that's not the answer I'm looking for, Meredith. Camille's gaze locked on Ryan's face.
She didn't kill Hakim, but the other party died because of her. She didn't want to explain too much about that.
"Does that answer really matter? In the face of time and ending, the original motive is nothing more than an excuse. Ryan said flatly.
"yes, maybe not that much."
The corners of Camille's mouth turned up slightly, and she let out a leisurely sigh with relief in her eyes.
Whether his younger brother is for his own selfish desires or for her, at least the ending is doomed, what's the point of thinking about it again.
Just like back then, in order to cut off his elopement with Hakim, he directed and acted in an attack on himself, making himself completely determined to have surgery.
All... But for the sake of the family...
But, she was a little tired.
She took out the scroll from her bosom that Ryan had given her yesterday when she was leaving, and opened it in front of the other party.
It was a piece of paper covered with runes, all written in blood, bewitching and mysterious.
"Trefali, maybe you can enjoy an unforgettable scenery."
Camille smiled at the corners of her mouth, slicing her slender fingers, and bits of blood dripped onto the scroll, blooming with a bright red glow.
The light enveloped the scroll, eventually turning into two runes, one floating into Camille's heart and the other into Ryan's eyebrows.
The contract has been signed.
Since then, Trifali has added a member named Camille.
"Ms. Camille, Trefali welcomes you to the team, you are the fourth member, the same is the fourth seat, and we welcome any internal challenges. Noxus, strength first! ”
"Sounds good, there are at least 3 people better than me. Speaker Meredith, do I have a specific mission? ”
Camille raised an eyebrow, the contract was not only binding, but also conveyed a lot of information about Trevali to her.
She thought that the leader of Trefary should be Svein, but she didn't expect it to be Ryan in front of her.
What made her even more concerned was that the third member was actually the front-line commander who fought against Freljord.
Noxus, I'm afraid it's not far from a change...
"There's no rush for this, we have to let the first overture of the Twin Cities come to an end. You can talk to Victor about the specifics of the peace talks, and I won't be involved. ”
Ryan got the answer he wanted, got up and walked outside.
When he walked to the door, his figure suddenly paused and said in a loud voice:
"The first sentence of the letter says that Philos will always follow the will of Camille Philos, and that she is the executor on whom the family will always depend."
After saying that, he ignored the reaction of the person behind him and walked out of the welcome room.
In the room, Camille's blue light-covered eyes twitched violently, revealing a silent smile, but quickly calmed down, and turned to look at Victor apologetically:
"Mr. Victor, Zaun has something to offer to be recognized as independent. For what you did last night, Philos needs to be compensated. ”
"I don't refuse that, but your behavior in Zuan last night..."
"If you fail, you should pay for your actions, which is the price that those who flee in a hurry should pay."
