Battle of the Two Cities: Begins with the Mage

In the dark, Ryan and Katrina walked on the ground paved with white stone bricks and walked towards the Noxus embassy not far away.

As they walked, Ryan and Katarina stopped at the same time.

"Picheng is really a city with excellent security." Ryan suddenly sighed.

Katerina sneered: "An airship was blown up in the airport in the morning, and another building was blown up in the evening. Do all the law enforcement officers in Picheng eat dry food, and only rush to the scene to clean up the mess after the incident. "

Not far from the two of them, the flames shrouded half of the sky, and the roar of explosives was incessant. A low-rise building burst like fireworks, and many surrounding buildings were affected by pond fish, making the sound of walls cracking.

"Your Excellency, do we need to intercept it?" Katerina asked.

Ryan shook his head lightly, with a thoughtful expression on his face.

The two quietly watched a delinquent girl with blue double ponytails go away smartly, and the girl made a face at them before leaving.

This girl has also appeared in the airport before. According to the information he received before, she is the person who is currently in charge of Zaun, Sirco, seems to be called... Jinx?

And if he is not mistaken, Jinx is holding a hex crystal in his hand. The energy structure contained in it is completely different from the one he gave to Victor. To be more stable, it should be the new hex crystal not shown today. Technology.

"It was the police officer from the morning. Luckily, the only survivor. It seems to be named... Gila Mann?"

The two walked to the scene of the incident and found Caitlin still breathing on the ground. Katerina frowned slightly, a little surprised.

"Caitlin Geramain. Her mother, Mrs. Geramain, was a member of Parliament for Piltover and was full of justice, so she often quarreled with her mother."

Ryan said calmly, pacing towards Caitlin, the ring in his hand glowing blue.

Blue raindrops swept down Caitlin's head, moistening her body, and her injuries healed with visible speed.

After doing this, he turned his head to the side. Jace was standing nervously. He was the first person to arrive at the scene except Ryan. The explosion occurred in his laboratory.

"That's all I can do. She should be able to wake up after a while." Ryan said flatly.

"Thank you for your help, Mr. Meredith."

Jace bowed to Ryan and hurriedly crouched down to lift Caitlin up. At this time, the law enforcement officers who arrived late also acted to clean up the chaotic post-disaster scene.

Seeing the charred corpses being carried out, Jace looked sad:

"Mr. Meredith, I heard Mel mention you. But I'm so sorry to show you the worst of Piltover."

Ryan looked indifferent, looking behind him through Jace. In the shadow of the building not far away, Victor is standing there hesitantly:

"The continent of Valoran is not peaceful. This kind of thing happens from time to time, even in the immortal fortress of Noxus. Are there any clues to the perpetrator?"

"It should have been done by the people in the lower city." Jace gritted his teeth. "Everyone belongs to Piltover. I can't think of why they would do this."

Who are you all?

Ryan shook his head secretly, facing the idealist in front of him, and asked:

"What do you think of Pied City and Zaun? This is my first time here, but neither of what I've heard from the outside world or what I've seen with my own eyes, these two places don't really feel like a city."

Jace held Caitlyn's hand tightly. "My partner is from Zaun, and I have no prejudice against that."

After he finished speaking, not to mention Ryan, even Katerina couldn't help but gave him a weird look.

If there is really no bias, is it necessary to emphasize this sentence?

Just when Ryan wanted to say something, Caitlin opened her eyes weakly:

"Jace?"

"Caitlyn, that's great, fortunately you're fine." Jace breathed a sigh of relief while giving Ryan an apologetic look.

"I... how are they." Caitlin struggled to get up, but her weakness prevented her from moving.

"Miss Gila Mann, my magic is only to help you recover from the trauma. The impact of the explosion on your body will have to keep you up for a while." Ryan said.

"Who are you?... Morning Noxian, you will be here?" Caitlin frowned, she didn't have a good impression of Ryan.

"Caitlyn, he saved you. As for the other magistrates..." Jace flashed sadness, his eyes unconsciously looking at the corpses.

"how is this possible!?"

Following his line of sight, Catelyn also saw the charred black lying not far away, her pupils shrunk, and she almost fainted again.

"Do you have any clues, this attack is unusual. Hex crystals were stolen, and several important research materials were also taken."

Jace's face was urgent, what was missing was important. If they were obtained by those who could use them, it might lead to war.

He only assured Heimerdinger and Meyer today that there would be no accident with Hextech, and he was a little ashamed that it had happened in less than a day.

This can't help but remind him of what happened a few years ago. It was also the theft of his hex crystal by the people from the lower city, and the explosion of the laboratory, which also triggered a series of events.

But the result was not bad that time, let him know Mel and Victor, and successfully researched Hextech.

But this time...hope it's a good ending...

Jace's mind wanders

waiting, waiting for Caitlin to recall what had happened.

"Let me think about..."

Caitlyn was lost in thought, frowning, distressed.

After a long while, she was full of excitement, and she blurted out excitedly:

"I remembered, and it was definitely made by people from the lower city! It was a group of people who blew up the airship in the airport this morning."

Jace also asked eagerly, "Is there a suspect target?"

Caitlin shook her head in distress: "I only know that the perpetrator will draw a monkey logo, and that mark is also on the airship in the airport. And I vaguely saw a blue-haired woman before I fell unconscious, and I don't know the rest."

"It doesn't matter, it's enough to know this information." Jace comforted.

"You don't need to worry about this matter, I will check it out myself, the lower city is a bunch of dirty mice." Caitlin raised her brows slightly, her face stubborn, "Although I didn't have a chance to interrogate the prisoner in the airship at that time. , but another gangster Mr Meredith caught, and I got a lot of information from him."

"Can I hear his origins?"

Ryan was interested, and he didn't think the green-haired mouth was very strict at the time.

"Of course." Caitlin didn't mind either. "That guy belongs to the Wildfire Gang, and is said to be the biggest gang force in Zaun."

Hearing this, Ryan's face gradually became weird.

If Noxus' information is correct, the biggest gang force in Zaun should be Hilco, and the Wildfire Gang can only be regarded as second-rate.

"They didn't think shimmer should exist in this world, so that operation was to destroy shimmer on the airship."

"Who is the person behind Shimmer? I heard from Mel that the ship was full of contraband." Jace said with disgust.

"He doesn't know that. Originally, we captured a prisoner of the forces behind Shimmer. But at that time, Senator Myrdalda was busy sending Shimmer to the Noxians, and the sheriff wouldn't let me interrogate him. I can't help it." Caitlin looked regretful.

It seems that she has a good relationship with Jace, and Caitlin added: "But I'm not going to give up! I'll investigate it myself."

"Don't mess around, people in the lower city are very dangerous. I will propose in the parliament tomorrow to thoroughly investigate the lower city. I believe that Meier and Professor Heimerdinger will agree." Jess said firmly.

Ryan quietly listened to the conversation between the two, looking at a shadow behind Jace with playful eyes. Not knowing when it started, the person in the shadow...disappeared.

"Mr. Tallis, Miss Gilamain. It's getting late. Have a nice evening."

Jess nodded solemnly to Ryan: "Mr. Meredith, on behalf of Piltover, I thank you for your help today."

"Small problem, I hope Picheng can have a quiet tomorrow."

Ryan waved his hand and took Katarina away without looking back.

Piltover...things seem to be getting more interesting...
