The Mage Behind the Scenes From the Twin Cities
Chapter 73: The Pylore Island Incident, the Undercurrent of the Empire
In the days that followed, there was a lot of turmoil everywhere because of the small disturbance in Piltover.
Other kingdoms and regions first felt the strength of the city of progress. Except for the mainland, Piltover's strength was completely comparable to that of a country.
And in Zaun, the thick cloud that had just loomed over them had not yet cleared, and a new shadow had been cast.
Hirko's death made many people secretly applaud and sigh.
But Zaun didn't give up hope, and they had their own leader, Viktor. The people of Zaun firmly believe that under his leadership, they will usher in a glorious future no less than that of the city next door.
In Piltover, although the deaths of many people have made the public feel sad. But the military strength of their own side also gave them a reassurance. When they met people from other areas on the street, the confidence on their faces was also stronger.
A few days later, the Noxa embassy welcomed a new guest.
Ryan sat in front of his desk, looked at Mel, who was standing in front of him on behalf of the family, and took a sip of tea:
"Recently, Piltover is still making a fuss. You shouldn't have time to come to me, Senator Myrdalda."
When speaking, he specially emphasized the word 'member'.
Mel's treatment this time was obviously much worse than that of Camille before. Not to mention the informal meeting, there was no place for her to sit down in the room.
However, she was actually very fortunate that she was not turned away today.
She is just an abandoned daughter of the Myrdalda family. Although she is a member of Piltover, she does not even have the ability or status to open the door of the embassy.
Mel bowed slightly, the etiquette was in place, and her voice carried the due respect:
"The dragon's performance was very successful, and the people have full confidence in our city. After the mourning for the martyrs, everything will be back on track."
"I heard that Mrs. Gila Mann, the former MP, died in this disaster." Ryan asked suddenly.
"Yes, she was shot in the heart by Jinx's bullet. Miss Gilamann was heartbroken, but fortunately, she has been a member of parliament for a while. I believe she can come out soon."
"The head of the family and the heir should never stand under a dangerous wall, even if he has great strength or wisdom, let alone some people have neither."
After Ryan said something, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, he took the tea cup and took a sip:
"The tea I drink comes from the island of Philo, although for some reason, the vegetation and the land are infested with dark magic. But the tea trees that can grow on the magic land always have a magical smell. I I like it there."
Mel's body was tense, and after careful consideration, he said very respectfully:
"Mother told me about my brother, and we are deeply sorry for what he did."
"He is in a hurry. If he wants to occupy the fiefs that the empire gave me, at least he has to wait for the Lesser garrison to erase me from Rune Land."
Ryan raised his head and looked at Mel with a half-smile:
"Or, your Myrdalda family thinks that I'm not here, and you can easily take down the island of Philo? Why don't you think about why Ionia didn't respond, and acquiesced to the people they hated most in their own land of birth. A piece of land."
Looking at the other party's expression, Mel lowered his head even further.
Just a few days ago, when the Picheng Square incident broke out. His older brother, the first heir to Myrdalda, led the family's army to the island of Philore in Ionia.
The island is located on the northwest side of the Ionian mainland. It was the first Ionian territory that Ryan led the Imperial Legion to occupy. Due to the war, the island is full of various alchemy waste gas and magic traces.
Later, after Ryan resigned, the island of Philo was assigned to the other side as a fief as compensation for the empire. At that time, the empire's fortress on the island became the other's noble castle, guarded by the remaining elite soldiers of Ryan and Swain.
She could understand her brother's thoughts. In order to be eager to prove that the Eastern Front had belonged to Myrdalda, she wanted to step on Liwei, the former deputy commander, and at the same time, she wanted to show her face in front of the Emperor of the Empire.
Who does not know the current empire, Ryan's position is swaying, no one knows if he still cares about the empire, but the other party is definitely dissatisfied with the current emperor Darkwill.
But she had to say that her brother was stupid beyond her imagination, and Mel sighed in her heart.
My brother didn't even think about it before he sent troops. Their Myrdalda had long since lost the glory of their ancestors. What would they use to attack each other? With his brother's simple mind that only makes small troubles, or his weak body?
She lowered her body slightly, bowed and took out a scroll and handed it to the other party:
"Your Excellency, this is the apology of the Myrdalda family, and I hope you and the mage stationed in Philore can forgive his crimes."
Mel had already met his mother, and learned from a few words that his brother was gone, and the legion at least suffered heavy losses.
It is said that only one mage was dispatched from Feilor Island, which completely destroyed nearly half of their Myrdal heritage.
The most ridiculous thing is that the other party didn't lose any money, and they had to take the compensation and pray for the other party's forgiveness.
Ryan took the scroll, opened it, glanced at random, and threw the scroll aside:
"Your family used to be the most prominent family in the empire, but your mother's set is only suitable for battlefield charging. Myrdalda lacks a person who makes decisions within the family."
"I think mother, she is very consistent with Noxus' philosophy in decision-making." Mel's eyebrows were lowered, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
"The idea of the empire has not flinched. She should have come today. She traveled thousands of miles from Ionia to return to the empire, staying on an airship a few kilometers away and refusing to enter the city. You said, she was afraid What?" Ryan asked with interest.
"She is grief-stricken by her brother's death now, and it is not suitable for her to come here."
Mel lowered her eyes and said kind words about her mother.
She didn't know or could see how sad her mother was for her brother's death.
In the previous meeting, all she could see was her mother's fear of Philo Island. Her mother feared retaliation and thought that Myrdalda would not take it.
For Myrdalda, even if she was reluctant, she had to come here today.
"As a general, you can't help but know the movements of your family's heirs. I believe this matter has nothing to do with your mother, but she is also a little dereliction of duty. I think she is only suitable for being a vanguard general who charges into battle, not for managing a huge family."
Ryan looked at Mel, who was still wearing the Myrdalda family ring, and said calmly:
"Your brother has paid the price. That scroll is enough to show your sincerity. But not everyone is willing to give your family a chance. You should think about it carefully."
"Myrdalda has other outstanding successors, and I believe them."
Mel lowered her head and said, but when she mentioned the successor, faces flashed in her mind, and she rejected them one by one.
She could understand what Ryan was saying, but she thought she was fine in Piltover.
But inevitably, that sentence still made her have thoughts that she shouldn't have in her heart. Her empty hand subconsciously touched her family's ring, her expression darkened and she didn't know what she was thinking.
She suddenly realized that...Mother...seems really not suitable.
She was the one who gave up on herself back then, but perhaps, she was really not wrong, but wrong...
Ryan looked at the other party's expression, always with a smile on the corner of his mouth, without pressing step by step, but mentioned the content of the scroll:
"The war between the Empire and Ionia is not over yet, and your mother is still needed there. Thank you for your family's generous gift of thousands of mage's notebooks, and send them to the Meredith Fortress on the island of Philo."
"Thank you, Your Excellency. If you have any other needs, Myrdalda is willing to help you unconditionally."
"Don't need it for the time being, tell your mother, I hope you will have a chance to have a drink with her in the immortal fortress in the future."
When Mel heard the expulsion order, he nodded yes, bowed and saluted, backed away, and left the embassy.
She got into the mechanical car and ran non-stop towards the airport.
Looking at the gradually shrinking and disappearing embassy, her heart was full of self-deprecation.
Obviously her brother died, but the family has no backbone at all.
Since you are so afraid of the other party's revenge, you shouldn't provoke others at the beginning.
This... Maybe it's the weak without self-awareness.
And the path of the weak is always full of sorrow...
