The Mage Behind the Scenes From the Twin Cities

A few days later.

The parliament originally scheduled to be held after the night of the break was postponed because Senator Gillamann fell into a coma.

Fortunately, the congressman woke up within two days, but he was still injured, but he still handed over the power to his daughter, Caitlin Giraman.

"Ladies and gentlemen! We need to keep calm."

Sitting on the bench, Mel looked at the quarrel of the senators in front of him with a headache, with a depressed expression on his face.

Zaun's departure was never in her plan. She was afraid that Jace would not be able to deal with such a situation, but since it had happened, solving the problem was the key.

Piltover doesn't have magic, only Hextech can compete with Hextech, and he can only rely on Jace.

"Mr. Myrdalda, how can you keep us calm, now the Hexley gate is forced to close, my cargo is backlogged every day, and now the whole world is watching our jokes!"

The chubby MP thumped the parliament table with resentment on his face.

He vented his emotions on Jace and blamed:

"Mr. Talis, this is your dereliction of duty. Your assistant has long harbored evil intentions, and you still have no defense against him."

"Mr. Congressman, this is my problem, and I'm deeply sorry. If I had agreed to his request long ago, I might not have gotten to this point." Jace smiled wryly.

"Now is not the time to discuss these. I just want to ask everyone here on behalf of my family whether our Picheng still has the ability to enforce justice."

Caitlyn frowned. She stood up from the seat of the congressman and looked around with coldness in her eyes. Others who looked at it unconsciously turned their eyes away.

Wei, who was standing behind her, glanced at her unexpectedly, and stood up like a bodyguard again, but her eyes were always filled with sarcasm towards the congressmen.

"I have to ask Congressman Tallis and Congressman Heimerdinger about this." The blond and thin Congressman muttered.

This sentence made everyone's eyes turn back to Jace and Heimerdinger, who was sitting in the first place with a bitter expression on his face.

Facing the gazes of several pairs of eyes, Jace was silent for a while, with a look of disbelief: "If it's Zaun without Victor, our odds are 100%. If Viktor doesn't have enough Hex Gems, then the odds are 8. to make."

"What if he has? We can't pin our hopes on the enemy's lack of weapons." Mel asked calmly.

"In that case... our odds of winning are less than fifty percent."

After saying the last number, Jace slumped to the seat of the senator.

This sentence actually already shows that Victor is far superior to him in the research and development of weapons.

Zaun's basic strength is far inferior to Piltover's, but relying on Victor greatly increases the opponent's chances of winning.

"The odds of winning are only half? You, the founder of Hex, are not as good as him?"

"His ideas are... more radical than mine. I suggest shutting down Hex Flying Gate permanently until we have a winner. Otherwise, there are too many smuggled goods coming in from Flying Gate, and our odds of winning will be lower." Jess suggested.

"No! No! It's impossible, I..."

When Congressman Fat Gao wanted to say something, he was interrupted by Mel:

"If Congressman Tallis can keep Pittsburgh safe, we think this opinion deserves a vote."

"At least this way I have a great win rate." Jace said truthfully.

"Then let's start a vote. I propose to put Picheng into the emergency combat readiness stage, develop the war reserve in an all-round way, and close the Hexfeit Gate. Professor Heimerdinger and Congressman Tallis are responsible for making weapons." Mel took the lead. Raised her right hand.

A spotlight fell from overhead and shrouded her in it, a voting tradition of the Piedmont Council, symbolizing the beginning of a democratic vote.

"I agree!" Caitlin raised her hand decisively.

Immediately afterwards, Jace and a member of the mechanical family raised their hands, and the white light wrapped them in.

In an instant, the number of support votes came to 4, but two male MPs and one female MP voted against.

Mel, who should have been happy because of the majority of the votes, instead frowned, staring at the three members who voted against it.

They were supposed to be her supporters, and the loss of shutting down Hexfeit should be borne by the Myrdalda family, but why...

Just when everyone's eyes were on Heimerdinger, who had a tangled face, the door of the parliament was slammed open.

"I personally object, everyone."

Entering was Ryan wearing a pure white robe, followed by Katerina and Victor wearing a monocle.

"Your Excellency Meredith, this is Piltover's parliamentary hall." Mel said politely.

Ryan looked around the field with plain but powerful eyes, took out a roll of parchment, and threw it to the nearest congressman covered in machinery.

Seeing this scene, Wei whispered in Caitlin's ear:

"Who is this man, he is so powerful, these officials and gentlemen have all stopped talking."

Catelyn replied softly: "He's a Noxian, like a mage. Last time I was scolded by my mother for saying a few words, and told me not to annoy him, or the whole of Piltover would be Follow along with the funeral."

"Heh, there's such a good thing. Then I'm going to trouble him under the name of Zaun. Will he help us kill Shirko and Victor together?" Wei smiled strangely on his face and wiped his neck. move.

"I'm afraid you will be killed by him first." Caitlin said angrily.

"Hahaha, trust me, Little Cake. Although I haven't seen a mage, I heard that they are all frail rookies who can take them away with a few close punches." Wei said confidently.

While the two of them were chatting, the congressman finished reading the parchment. He handed the parchment to the blond congressman beside him, lowered his head and said respectfully:

"I agree with Lord Meredith's proposal to open the Hexfeit Gate."

"Why?" Mel stood up suddenly, his eyes fixed on the parchment scroll.

The past few members were all opposed to closing the flying gate~www.NovelMTL.com~ The parchment scroll was quickly passed to her, and she began to read with her eyes fixed:

"Noxus Announcement:"

"Piltover has three options:"

"1. Maintain the status quo. As long as Noxus's army transportation and resource supply are maintained, Noxus will not participate in any internal chaos."

"Second, without the supply of resources and flying gates, let the Noxian army come to Piltover in person."

"Three, hand over the supreme power to Ryan Meredith, become part of Noxus from now on, and Zaun will be erased."

"—The High Emperor of Noxus, written by Darkwill."

On the parchment, there is also the national seal of Noxus. Obviously, if this parchment does not serve as an informative, then it is a gauntlet, or a letter of appointment.

"Impossible, we Piltover operate on our own, without interference from other forces."

After Jace finished reading the parchment scroll, he stood up suddenly and glared at Ryan who had just sat down.

"Mr. Talis, this is a notice from the Immortal Fortress. If it wasn't for the Empire's army fighting against the four countries at the same time, Piltover would have been occupied at this moment." Ryan didn't lift his eyelids, still fiddling with the ring in his hand .

"I..."

"Okay, Senator Tallis, I think everyone thinks option one is very good, but we are really powerless against Zaun, and Noxus has to give us some help." Mel looked helpless.

She really didn't want Noxus to interfere, but since things had come to an end, the key was whether she could get some real benefits.

If the Empire is willing to help, Zaun is just a small problem.

"Aid?" Ryan looked at her with a half-smile, "I don't know if I bring you a member of parliament. Would you mind?"
