Sensing that Heimerdinger was a little absent-minded, Lyster stopped: "The science and technology exhibition is in the east courtyard, the north is the dormitory building, the southeast is the teaching building, and the west is the exhibition hall, I need to go to the exhibition hall to attend a discussion now, do you want to go with me?" ”

Heimerdinger shook his head and looked up in the direction of the East Courtyard.

"Laister, I want to go to the East Courtyard to see the science and technology exhibition, I prefer a little bit of reality to those meaningless meetings."

The man shrugged, he wasn't going to force Heimerdinger to stay, and in the spirit of a yodel, if he couldn't get Heimerdinger to choose the Emerald Collar willingly, even if he made more overtures, it would be pointless.

As for forcibly kidnapping Heimerdinger to the Emerald Collar and letting Heimerdinger live the life of Duran, the master of sculptures, such an option has never appeared here in Lyster.

Durang and Yodelers are not the same species at all, and naturally cannot be compared.

"Well, I'm sure Teemo will take care of you, Teemo is the most prominent scout in Bandle City, he knows how to do things in human society, as long as you don't go out of the academy gates, if you meet someone who checks your identity, you can say the name of the Emerald Collar, if you can't, you can come to the exhibition hall to find me, I think I'll spend the whole day there."

"Thank you, Lyster, you are as reliable as you say at the junction...... Hurry up Teemo, I can't wait to see what these haughty Zauns have gotten to it! ”

Seeing a somewhat helpless Teemo being taken away by Black Merdingala, Lyist turned around and walked to the west.

The exhibition hall is located in a flat building, through a certain principle of optical refraction, the topographic map of the Zuan Strait located on the main seat is projected on the huge tabernacle, and Lyst can see more than 50 numerical markers, which are distributed in different positions, from the overall point of view, the marks fully cover both sides of the strait, and there are already many bidding merchants whispering in the hall.

By the time Lyist arrived, more than half of the bidders in the convention hall had arrived, and as far as the eye could see, there were already about twenty representatives of business families sitting on the seats, and if all of them were full, there would probably be more than thirty Zuan forces.

Connor Philos was sitting on the edge of the back row, waiting for the meeting to begin, while Kelsey was seated on the second floor, a special position that could only be reached by VIPs.

Before Lyster could say anything, a maid with the emerald collar had already walked down from the second floor to lead the way.

Following the maid of the Jelister family to the second floor, Lyster sat down behind Kelsey, shook his head at Kelsey who looked worried, and whispered.

"Just do your thing, don't worry about me, in today's day, I'm just a spectator."

Hearing Lyster say this, Kelsey could only suppress the doubts in her heart, she knew that it was better not to be too curious about some things.

As time passed, the last bidders who accepted the invitation also sat down, and at ten o'clock, the door slowly closed, and the dean of the academy, one of the members of the Zuan Council, a middle-aged man named Terence, came to the main seat with an unusually loud voice and a bright look.

"Welcome to this tender for the project, for the greatest expansion of the Straits in history, the Zuan Council has raised enough money for the project, and everyone involved in the project can receive a large enough salary, and I think you have understood the specific requirements of this tender before that.

As the current Dean of the Fred Institute of Science and Technology Studies, I am honored to be here to explain all the projects of this project once again...... Mr. Senior, please move the point of light to the first marker. ”

"Yes, Mr. Dean."

The thin young man hurriedly answered, and by turning the brass handle horizontally and vertically at the same time, the complex star trail slowly began to move to change the angle of sunlight, and Lyist soon noticed that the new specks of sunlight were pointed at the first mark of the projection tabernacle, and it must be said that this design was quite ingenious

"Everyone, please see, this is the blasting point map designed by our craftsmen, there are a total of fifty-two blasting points in the whole map, and the place where the sun shines is the first blasting point, this place is located on the south shore of the strait, because the terrain there is too steep, and the cliffs are all hard rocks, close to the harbor building, it is very difficult to blast without destroying the building, and the risk is very high.

The first lot is from the first point to the eighth point, and on this most difficult lot, the Zuan Council will give a full amount of money for the project, and at the same time, we will need quite a professional blasting engineer and excellent explosives.

It is not easy to blow up the strait by explosives, any slightest mistake will make the project out of control, the gentleman who is interested in the first bid section can pay attention to it, and submit the bidding documents after the meeting, we will evaluate the information provided by each bidder and choose the most suitable construction organization,

This is followed by the second lot, which is from the ninth to the fifteenth position......"

Lyist listened quietly to Terence's speech, but he didn't expect the bidding process to be so interesting.

Fifty-two blasting points are divided into eight bids, the blasting difficulty and requirements of each bid are different, the project payment is also large and small, for some reason, each force can bid many times, but at most can only get one bid, more than 30 businessmen compete for eight bids is not fierce, but on the whole, the meeting still maintains a good and harmonious atmosphere, and there is no 'uncivilized' behavior.

By the time the lecture was finished, it was already noon, and the bidders submitted the bid documents prepared in advance, and the college laid carpets and parasols on the lawn outside the convention hall to provide a unique picnic experience for everyone.

Grabbing the porcelain plate and cutlery, Lyster tasted the cooked meat that had been prepared on the dining car for a bite or two, then frowned and put the cutlery down.

It's not that the salt-and-pepper steak is not delicious, it's just that the Skarash meat in his mouth reminds him of a few old people in Shurima.

Kelsey, who had been secretly observing Laister, saw this, walked over slowly, and said in a low voice.

"Mr. Liszt, did your trip go well this time?"

"The chemical plant I told you about at the beginning, take it, there is indeed something interesting underground, we need to keep it in our hands, but until the Zuan people complete their expansion plan, we don't need to have any money or personnel investment, don't forget what I told you."

"Yes."

Keeping Lyster's instructions in mind, Kelsey felt that the atmosphere was a little dull and didn't like to be close to people, and Kelsey took the initiative to speak again.

"Mr. Liszt, there is another meeting in the afternoon, about the construction plan of the giant sea gate [Sun Gate], if you find it boring, you can leave at any time, and leave it to us here."

Seeing that Kelsey still had no intention of leaving, Lyster finally set his eyes on the girl's delicate face, and there was a little more mockery in his eyes.

"Little girl, it seems, you care about me very much? Well, for your sake, what do you want from me? If you want me as a person, it's not like I can't think about it, let you and Sheena be good sisters. ”

Kelsey was a little overwhelmed by the shyness she had never felt before, and the girl rubbed her somewhat hot cheeks, stood up and avoided the man's funny gaze by arranging her skirt.

"Hmm...... Sir, don't make fun of me, I'm actually, I actually want to hear you tell you a story about the past, about the founder of the Jerlister family, the story of Maurice's ancestors,

I grew up listening to his stories, but the feeling of others must be different from the one you gave me, you are a great eyewitness, and you must know more about the story of Maurice's ancestors. ”

"It turned out to be an admirer of Morris's family, hey, I didn't expect that guy to have such a good descendant as you, if he knew, I'm afraid he would laugh from ear to ear......"

Smiling and patting the seat next to him, Lyist took two glasses of freshly squeezed sweet milk from the food truck.

"Sit down, since you want to know about Morris's scandal, I'll tell you a few things, but don't spread it."

"Huh? The scandal of the ancestors? I, sir, I ......"

"Oh? Don't really want to hear it? This is the black spot in the life of the great Maurice, don't you really want to hear it? ”

With a blushing face, Kelsey lowered her head like a little girl and made a sound like a mosquito.

"Want to ......"

Handing the milk to Kelsey, Lyster took a sip and looked up at the blue sky.

"Hey, that's right, believe me, if it were Morris, he would have leaned his ear over without hesitation, not at all.

Kelsey, in my opinion, there are no truly great people in this world at all, people make mistakes, Maurice will, I will, even the gods in the sky will, peel back the aura of those deified by legends, everyone is just animals who will be dominated by emotions and desires, tearing through the glossy shell, their inner uglier than we imagined......

Okay, I don't think you young people like the old guy's preaching either, so I'll tell you the story of my encounter with Maurice.

It was not long after I arrived at the Immortal Fortress, and the Noxians at that time were still a bunch of barbarians who couldn't even get their clothes together, and they still had their butts and balls in their butts, and can you imagine that the dance that the Noxians were most proud of at the bonfire was the Orangutan Dance?

The dancing Noxian ruler flapped his chest like a gorilla, clumsily opened his legs, a man and a woman kept circling around the bonfire, and when they were happy, they gave birth directly to the cheers of the crowd on the spot, and in order to demonstrate this dance, Nadalz, the patriarch of the Locksh clan at that time, also demonstrated it for me himself......"

"Big, gorilla? Or the legendary Great Shore Lord Nadalz? ”

Kelsey's eyes widened, and her cheeks spread from the tips of her ears to her collarbone like a sunset, and she had the impression that the old nobility of Noxus always reflected classicism and elegance in all aspects of life, and the rules of the old aristocracy were harsh.

Dance, etiquette, conversation and behavior, every detail carries the oldest glory of Noxus.

And now, the founder of the Emerald Lord, the oldest and most mysterious legend of Noxus, tells her that the great people who founded Noxus turned out to be just a bunch of dancing gorillas?

Suddenly there was a sense of disillusionment.

"That's right, that's what you think, so it seems to me that the manners of the old and new nobility of Noxus today are ridiculous, and they are just expressions to show off the different classes, unless there are still people willing to dance the orangutan dance in public.

The old nobility of Noxus, they just want to use those rules and regulations to make their status higher than others, not really want to remember and commemorate the old glory of Noxus through those red tape, don't regard complexity and profundity as mystery and awe, the simpler and clearer things are, the more worthy of respect. ”

"Okay, well, sir, I'll remember."

Nodding with satisfaction, for the girl who has been giving positive feedback to herself, Lyster has a lot more to talk about.

"In that era, the Lockhee clan defeated the dark tyrant with the help of the Black Rose and successfully occupied the Immortal Fortress, you can imagine how many forces will covet the Immortal Fortress for a long time, and in the continuous campaign, the Lockhee Clan led by Nadalz finally defeated the other challengers and gained a foothold in the Immortal Fortress,

But the good times didn't last long, at that time, the two barbarian forces of the northern Dalmo Plain coveted the land in the south, and when the immortal fortress was at its weakest, they colluded with the bandit group to go all the way south, plundering and slaughtering the villages along the way.

The two barbarian forces were held back by the army of the Immortal Fortress at the eastern foot of the Gorrell Mountains, and the bandit regiment attacked from the western foothills.

I'm afraid you don't know that the immortal fortress at that time couldn't get together a hundred soldiers composed of young and middle-aged people, and at that time, when the troops were sent out in the conqueror's square, I could only lead a group of old, weak, sick and disabled people to the north to block the attack of the robbers.

I don't know if there is a record of the past in the books of your Jelister family, your ancestor Maurice was a young man from North Noble Village, he had a family before he founded the Jelister family, he had his own wife and son, until the bandits of the Decapitator Bandit Regiment invaded North Norr, he lost everything and became a prisoner of the bandits.

We met after I defeated the Bandits of the Decapitators, and at that time he was like a charcoal fire that was about to be extinguished, and he didn't even want to eat, and he couldn't find any motivation to live...... Believe me, that's when your Jelister family is at its most dangerous......"
