Back to the point.

Lucci looked at the people sitting across from him and spoke up again: "I think I've proven my sincerity enough, and an alliance with Demacia is definitely a good choice for Picheng." ”

He watched as several councillors were making eye contact with each other.

"I know what you're all worried about. But believe me, whether it's Demacia or Piltover, we're just taking a step, and there's still a lot of higher to climb in the future. At least I have the confidence to lead Demacia to a better future. ”

Although the tone was not passionate, when he said this, the aura that flowed from Lu Qi's body was very powerful. Especially those eyes, with unquestionable firmness and confidence.

A group of parliamentarians couldn't help but be shocked by this little shock.

Heimerdinger took over at this time and said, "Your Highness, please allow us to think about it for a while. In fact, the most important thing is the attitude of these two young people, after all, they are the creators of Hextech. ”

Eyes couldn't help but focus on Jace and Victor.

Victor looked at Jace, who supported his friend's decision.

Jace was under the gaze of many eyes, the pressure suddenly doubled, he thought about it seriously, and still spoke: "I may need to think about it for a while. ”

He was also unable to give a direct answer, because he knew that both himself and the parliamentarians needed to be seriously considered.

It's a matter of the Twin Cities.

Several parliamentarians present here are indeed a little entangled and wavering in their hearts at the moment.

They feared that if they formed an alliance with Demacia, they would become the target of public criticism.

Although it is said that the current military strength of Demacia is only an alliance, there is no need to worry about danger in the short term.

But no one can easily make decisions that will affect the future of the Twin Cities.

"I didn't say I was going to reply immediately, I'll wait for you to figure it out." Lu Qi is not in a hurry, he is the last thing he is afraid to deal with smart people.

Smart people will turn their brains, and they will understand the benefits of an alliance with Demacia.

After thinking about it, he changed the topic and said, "By the way, I'm quite interested in the lower part of Picheng, since I'm here, I can't help but take a look, there shouldn't be any problem, right?" ”

The topic was successfully diverted, and the councillors looked at each other, and Councillor Haken asked, "Since you want to go and see, there is no problem." When does Your Highness have time? ”

Lu Qi said casually: "You can leave in the afternoon, just sightseeing, it must not take much time." ”

Councillor Costin took over and said, "No problem, we'll send a carriage to pick you up then." ”

"Then I'll go back first, and I'll see you in the afternoon."

Lu Qi stood up and walked out, but before leaving, he remembered something, walked to Victor again, and took out a delicate medicine bottle: "You seem to have very serious insomnia, and the depletion of your liver, kidneys, and lungs is also very serious." To be kind to your body, one pill a day before bedtime can effectively relieve symptoms. ”

At this time, Victor only looked pale, with dark circles under his eyes, but he was not very sick.

However, Lu Qi could see at a glance that the internal friction in his body was already very serious.

Looking at the medicine bottle that was handed to him, Victor subconsciously took it, and looked a little helpless for a while, but he still hurriedly saluted and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for the reward." ”

"It's not a reward, it's just a concern for the health of my future partner."

Lucie smiled, patted Victor on the shoulder, and turned to leave.

Watching him leave the room, Victor stood in place a little stunned for a moment, the medicine bottle in his hand exuded a coolness like jade, and it was worth a lot just by looking at it.

He knew that this highness had no intention of pleasing himself because of Hextech, and really only cared about his body.

"I felt like you weren't in the right shape some time ago, Victor, or you might as well rest for a while."

At this time, Jace walked up and looked at Victor with some concern.

Luki's words just reminded him that he had long felt that Victor's state was wrong, but Victor had always said that he was just suffering from insomnia and congenital lung disease.

But looking at Lu Qi's tone just now, it seems to be quite serious.

"No, I know my body. It's just that it does look a little tired, and that's okay. ”

A smile appeared on Victor's face, signaling that Jace was okay.

"Let's get back to business." At this point, Councillor Haken spoke, "What do you think of His Highness's proposal?" ”

"In the long run, if Demacia maintains the current state, it may not be impossible to form an alliance with them."

Councillor Arianna pondered for a moment.

"It's just that they declared war on Noxus some time ago, and now there is a truce. But if Noxus breaks the contract, we will definitely be the first to be targeted. ”

Councillor Baido said.

Councilor Costin spoke: "It's so easy to break the treaty, and things between countries are not so simple. ”

Cassandro also said at this time: "I checked last night, and Demacia has been established for nearly seven hundred years. For seven hundred years, the reputation in the Land of Runeterris has always been quite good, although it is also very proud. But I feel that today's Demacia cannot be viewed from the perspective of history books. ”

Councillor Baido said: "Yes, this prince gives a very difficult feeling. Although he seems to be approachable, don't forget that he also led the crusade against the existence of an entire Shining Silver Mountain Range in Noxus. ”

"In short, there are too many unknown roads, everyone should think about it." Councillor Haken said, looking at the man who hadn't spoken, "Stivan, what do you think?" The Philos family is also involved in the investment in Hextech, and the attitude of the few of you is also very important in this matter. ”

Stevan's eyes were slightly condensed, and he sat in his wheelchair before he spoke, "I also need time to think about it." ”

Again, no matter who you are, you can't make an easy decision on this matter.

In the room, Heimerdinger and Mel did not speak.

Heimerdinger just watched silently, like a bystander.

Mel was thinking about what she had to say, and the members of the room had already finished speaking.

Although she used to be a Noxian, she is now separated from Noxus and stands in the perspective of Leather City.

If there is an alliance between Noxus and Demacia, you must choose an alliance.

She might pick Demacia.

"This key is actually very important, imagine if more and more people have the key in the future. This is equivalent to a kind of information flow reform, which contains too many possibilities. ”

Councillor Arianna spoke.

What makes them a little excited, there is no doubt that it is this key.

and the dream network that Lu Qi said just now.

"Let's not talk about this for a while, I'm going to take this highness down to visit the lower city in the afternoon." Councillor Haken said at this time, "Let Slap go and inform the Lower City, there must be no trouble this afternoon." ”

The meeting then dispersed.

Jace and Victor on their way to the lab.

Jace asked, "What do you think?" This thing. ”

Victor looked down at the medicine bottle in his hand and said, "Your attitude is my attitude, Jace, don't forget our original intention." It's all for the sake of the Twin Cities and for a better future for humanity. ”

"Of course I do."

Jace exhaled deeply, "It's just."

He thought about it, but still didn't say anything.

He didn't want to let these troubles disturb his partner in front of him.

With his position in the city, he has become more and more important. Leaving behind a lot of worries other than scientific inventions, it also entered Jace's life.

At this time, he can't even represent just an individual.

Back in the laboratory, neither of them was in the mood to continue their research.

Victor returned to the break room, and although it was not yet noon, he wanted to rest for a while.

Looking at the medicine bottle in his hand, after thinking about it, he still uncorked the bottle and poured a pill into his hand.

The moment the cork was opened, he could already smell the strong medicinal smell in the bottle.

He is aware of his body, the severity of his lung disease day after day, as well as mental anxiety and the high intensity of his work.

Before that, he had tried to find ways to alleviate his physical injuries, but to no avail.

Coughed a few times.

Without hesitation, Victor shoved the pill into his mouth, endured the bitter taste that spread throughout his mouth, and swallowed it.

Then he drank a whole glass of water, and surprisingly, he quickly felt the effect of the medicine surge.

A warmth emanated from his lower abdomen, and then spread to all corners of his body, and he didn't feel the urge to cough for a while, and he felt comfortable in his throat.

"It really works."

Victor didn't expect a small pill to be so powerful.

Lying on the couch and feeling the warmth on his chest, he soon fell into a deep sleep.

Leaving the building, I went outside, and it was almost noon.

Located in the middle of the three continents, the climate is excellent, and even though it's almost November, it still doesn't feel too cold. The sun is also mild and spills from the sky.

He got into the carriage, and soon it was heading back.

It didn't take long for him to return home.

As soon as he got out of the carriage and walked outside the living room, he heard the crackling of cards inside.

"The King."

"Don't."

"To three."

"Don't."

"Don't? Then don't blame me for being unkind, to four, to eight, to nine, to tick, a 5, it's over. ”

"Huh? How can you do it right? ”

"This is providential, don't say it, probe here."

Walking in, Lu Qi saw Lux, who had two white stripes on his face, standing on the sofa with an arrogant face.

Obviously, the crackling movement just now was caused by this thing.

In contrast, Sana on the left is chuckling, and Caitlin on the right is dejected, with white notes on her face.

She could only lean her head over.

Then Lark unceremoniously tore off a white note, and after a sigh, it slapped on Catelyn's head with a crisp sound.

Then Suona made up another one with gentle movements.

In this regard, Caitlin regained her morale with a face full of disbelief: "Come again!" ”

"Xiao Lin, the landlord's water is too deep, you can't grasp it, remember to give it to me next time."

A sly smile appeared on Lux's face.

At this ridicule, Caitlin's face was full of humiliation, and she was unhappy and unconvinced: "Don't say it, I will definitely win this!" ”

The three of them were playing the landlord, and they seemed to be on the rise, and they didn't even say hello when Lu Qi came back.

Catelyn, with a note on her face, probably didn't see it, and the little golden retriever simply ignored it.

"I'm going to go downtown for sightseeing in the afternoon, are you any interested?"

Lu Qi said casually at this time.

"Your Highness?" Caitlin, who was concentrating on shuffling the cards, noticed him, lifted the note that was somewhat obscuring her vision, and said, "I've been to Downtown once before, but I've always wanted to see it again." ”

Lux said with great interest, "I'm going!" ”

Soon, other girls also said they wanted to go.

After all, they are all newcomers, and they all have a strong interest in Picheng or Zu'an.

Seeing Lu Qi coming back, Suanna, who wanted to practice the piano, directly made a place for him.

Lu Qi sat down and glanced at Caitlin: "How can you be bullied like this little golden retriever, don't be afraid, I'll avenge you." ”

Seeing the new opponent appear, Lux also looked solemn, "Since it's you, don't blame me for using all my strength." ”

Caitlin was very moved by Luki's statement and couldn't help but nod her head.

However, this momentum has not yet passed.

Just two minutes later, Lu Qi, who had snatched the landlord's set of moves without explaining the combo, suddenly let out an arrogant laugh.

"That's it? Probe here! ”

Said it was revenge, but he didn't even let Catelyn go.

Looking at Caitlin with a confused face, he unceremoniously tore off a note and slapped it directly on her head with a "click", and the sound was even clearer than just now.

Then, it was the little golden retriever's turn.

Lu Qi was even more polite, and also made a "click".

Lux clenched her fists unwillingly, glanced at Luqi hatefully, and then looked at Caitlyn and said, "This guy is very difficult, be serious." ”

Caitlin nodded, taking a deep breath, the note on her face swaying as she blew it, but it also represented her seriousness.

After all, fighting the landlord is still a game of luck to a large extent, when there is a peerless good hand, the fool can also win.

On the premise of not cheating, Lu Qi will also have the possibility of being locked by his teammates, so it is naturally impossible to win the streak.

Over time, two notes were also attached to his face.

But looking at Lux again, she only had three notes on her white and tender little face just now, and she was almost full of them at the moment.

As for Caitlin, it was even worse, her face was completely covered by a white note.

"It's rude to win any longer, I'll go get lunch."

Lu Qi got up with a smile, glanced at the two of them contemptuously, left the back of a master, and walked to the kitchen.

In this regard, Lux and Caitlyn are extremely unhappy.

The main thing is this guy, when he wins, he doesn't have any affection at all, and he will make a noise every time.

This kind of injury is not strong, but the extremely insulting blow makes them all hold a breath of anger in their hearts.

As a result, the guy turned his head and slipped.

They have an empty stomach and nowhere to vent!

Thankfully, Luki's lunch was delicious enough to wipe away their anger.

And when Caitlin saw a table full of sumptuous dishes, she was still shocked.

It's a completely different dish from breakfast, and there's a wide variety of dishes.

She couldn't help but wonder, how much will Lu Qi do?

Born into an aristocratic family in Leather City, Catelyn boasted that she had grown up and had eaten a lot of good food.

But in just one morning today, her perception was changed.

Compared to the table in front of her, the food she had eaten before could only be regarded as ordinary and mediocre food.
