Battle of the Two Cities: Begins with the Mage

A dark blue light lit up from his ring and eyes, and a huge rune circle wrapped the roof, and the runes rose in strings.

In the magic-filled rune formation, Shirco felt that it was difficult to breathe, and looked at Ryan who was casting spells in shock.

hum! ! !

The brilliance of the rune faded after a while, but in Ryan's hand, there was a strange mechanical claw.

"This is..."

Victor looked at the Hex masterpiece in Ryan's hand with a complicated expression.

Hex crystals are an unstable natural source of magical energy, and on this basis, he and Jace improved them to create hex gems that can provide stable energy.

And the mechanical claw in Ryan's hand that can be loaded on the shoulder is powered by the Hex gem. Not only is it as flexible as the third hand of the human body, but it can also emit high-energy rays that cut iron like mud.

It was supposed to be shown on Evolution Day, but because of Jace, it might have to be dusted forever.

"The most suitable weapon for you is the finished product in the final process of adding."

Ryan ignored Hilco's presence at all, his fingers flashed blue light that symbolized magic, and he wrote some complicated strokes in the air, forming a mysterious rune.

The rune fell slowly, attached to the claw center of the robotic claw, and permanently attached to the hex gem.

"In addition to making the crystal more stable and drawing more energy in a single shot, I also added the rune of the magic force field. When you receive accidental damage, the force field will automatically open and freeze everything around you. ."

Seeing Victor skillfully installing the robotic arm on his shoulder, Ryan smiled and said:

"The force field is not easy to test, let's try the power of the ray now."

Victor nodded, and under everyone's attention, the hand of the manipulator turned and aimed at an iron pole 10 meters away.

Noisy!

The orange-yellow ray reached the iron rod in the blink of an eye, and the manipulator moved horizontally, and the iron rod that the man hugged was instantly cut into two pieces.

Seeing the effect of the explosion in front of him, Victor couldn't help but smile bitterly: "The original intention of the original design was to facilitate the craftsmen to carve."

Shirko looked at the falling iron rod in horror, and fear for Nocasas emerged in his heart.

You call this a crafting tool for a craftsman? Don't all craftsmen have such destructive power?

Does that mean that if you are absent from work, you have to wear a glove that can carry 10,000 kilograms, and can smash the mine into pieces with one punch?

At this moment, he was deeply aware of Zaun's weakness.

The gap between such a powerful empire as Zaun and Noxus is obviously not a star.

He took back those thoughts he should not have, and put on a friendly face:

"What's the name of this housekeeper? We need to help each other in the future. If you have anything to do with me, please feel free to mention it."

"Weiss, just call me Mr. Butler."

"Mr. Butler, you still have to worry about the Sevika robotic arm," Hilko said.

On the other side, Sevika forced a smile on her face and bowed her head to Victor. This wasn't Katerina with knives, she didn't want to be cut in half.

Seeing this scene, Victor nodded silently, feeling a little uncomfortable.

what is this?

In less than an hour, from a research assistant to a butler who controls the fate of Zaun, is this the confidence that Noxus brings?

Many things I understand in my heart, and real experience, are really not the same thing at all...

Piltover and Zaun say it's not big, and he's met Shirko and Sevika a few times.

But every time we meet, he always looks like a research assistant who walks away, while they are powerful local snakes.

Now, watching the two show respect in front of him, his mentality inevitably changed.

His eyes looked back at Ryan, his eyes were full of gratitude, and he wanted to say something, but saw the other party wave with a smile:

"Okay, I'll leave the rest to Wes. He can represent my will. Noxus doesn't look down on Zaun, and we'll win."

"I understand!" Shirko looked relieved, "Sir, I will show you Zaun's sincerity at night."

"Your will... and win-win...?"

Victor met Ryan's gaze, as if he understood something, and bowed his head to greet him.

After Ryan finished speaking, the rune rose from his body again, and Katarina turned into a little light and dissipated.

"Sevika, you know what to do."

After Ryan left, Shirco said a few words in a calm way, and started to lead the way, preparing to take Victor to his temporary residence.

"Ms. Sevika..."

Victor's eyes flickered, and he stopped the dark-skinned woman who was about to climb down the window:

"I'll help you fix the robotic arm first. In order to face the powerful enemy of Picheng, you need to be in the best condition."

"You have the final say."

Sevika grinned, picked up the broken robotic arm with one hand, and followed Victor and the two.

"Mr. Butler, what materials do you need?"

"One hundred kilograms of iron ore. It would be best if you have Picheng-grade steel. Her equipment design is not subtle enough, and the shimmering medicine can be stored inside the arm, instead of being injected during wartime."

Having said that, Victor said at his fingertips several kinds of things that can be done in Picheng.

Found forging equipment.

"We have all of these, and the mechanical grade steel can be given to you now. How much time will it take? I have to show that Your Excellency my sincerity tonight."

Shirko brought Victor into a fairly tidy room, and immediately ordered Sevika to prepare the materials.

"An hour is enough, now I'm concerned about another thing."

Victor turned around and held a cane with one hand. His body was extremely thin due to the injury, but he was inexplicably imposing.

"I think we should get to know each other a little better, Mr. Butler."

With a smile on his face, Sirco raised two wooden stools, and when Victor sat down, he sat on the other one.

"I think that Your Excellency should still have orders. Is there anything I need to do? In Zaun, I still have so much thin noodles."

"You'll know this right away, before..."

Victor had a serious face and stared at Shirko:

"I want to know what you think of the future of Picheng and Zaun. I have seen your deeds. You once overthrew Vander under the banner of revitalizing Zaun. But in the past few years, he has been holding back and became another Vander, still the one who would bully the Zaun."

"Bullying the Zaun people? I've never done that." Shirko sneered. "Others can slander me, but don't take me and Vanderby. I want to revive Zaun more than he does."

Victor was unmoved and said lightly: "He organized a bridge crossing at least ten years ago, how about you?"

"Yeah, rush to the border bridge, break into Piltover and use force to get justice." Shirko became emotional, and his face was a little grim, "But it's already bloody, why do you still want it? Choose to be weak? Zaun would never be what he is today as long as he rushed to the end."

Hearing these words, Victor fell silent.

He was already a student of Heimerdinger when Vander created the upheaval.

He used to be very simple, listening to Heimerdinger saying that violence cannot solve problems, and he agreed in his heart.

But... looking back now, Heimerdinger also said... any threat to the peace of Piltover should be eliminated, and then he learned that...

"In the parliament at that time, three members agreed to reach a settlement with Zaun. If you fight again, you have a good chance of success."

So... Vander was one step away from success, but chose to back off.

"Yeah, that's what I thought too. After that incident, the Piltover MP approached him, telling jokes that Zaun couldn't win. Vanderthal believed it at the time, and has since huddled with him. The tavern, doing cowardly waste."

Shirko took a deep breath.

"So, I killed Vander and wanted to vote for myself."

"But you didn't do it later." Victor's eyes were suspicious.

He felt that the truth of Zaan in recent years was slowly being revealed, which allowed him to understand his hometown from another perspective, instead of shouting empty words like using technology to change people's livelihood.
