Battle of the Two Cities: Begins with the Mage

"Camille will be very busy these days. She has too many things to deal with when she comes back. Piltover won't take the initiative to fight in a hurry. You still have time."

In the basement of the Noxus embassy, ​​Ryan was facing Victor, and there were a dozen or so Hex Primordial Crystals neatly placed on the table.

"Your Excellency, I understand. The news has been passed to Sirco, who is better at this than me." Victor nodded earnestly.

It has been a day since the end of the parliament, and everyone is still immersed in the return of the Philos family to the seat of parliament. The war preparations have been concealed, and only a few relevant people know about it.

Camille has taken over the corps of marshals, and she's been training hard recently, so that those recruits who haven't fired their guns in a long time go off the rails.

Ryan picked up a primitive gem in his right hand, rubbed it and put it down, with a solemn expression on his face:

"Before I tell you about mechanical ascension, I have to make sure you have some basic knowledge of Runeterra. How much do you know about the limits of what the human body can reach?"

"The limit of the body... After the injection of the shimmer, the experimental body can bend steel with bare hands. It is said that General Darius of Noxus can be invulnerable." Victor said with a frown.

"General Darius' body is much better than you think. Even if he is aimed at by a cutting-edge turret and hit by four turrets at the same time, he cannot be fatally injured." Ryan's face was a little playful.

Compared to Darius, the girl who played with the knife in Ionia made him more memorable. He and the commander teamed up and almost never beat each other.

The commander also had a hand cut off. Although the other party's body was carrying some mysterious external force from Ionia at that time, the other party really didn't speak science, and magic could not break the defense.

"how is this possible!?"

Victor exclaimed at the moment, the Darius in Ryan's description has surpassed his knowledge of human beings.

At least in his eyes, only magicians can block the cutting-edge battery, which is the fundamental reason why he is willing to give up his body.

"Don't think human beings are so weak, remember the five paths I mentioned earlier." Ryan warned, "In order to give you a concept of your own mechanical body, I will take someone you are familiar with as an example, let me think Who is more suitable..."

Ryan thought for a few seconds, with a smile on his face:

"Take the eldest Miss of the Gila Mann family as an example. Miss Catelyn is a standard Piltover magistrate template."

Victor nodded, he didn't care who the combat power standard was, he just wanted to know more about the world.

"Talk about someone who is more powerful than her, Jace Tallis, your most familiar partner, his physique is almost the same as that of elite Noxus, about 3-5 times that of Caitlyn."

"His family is a family that makes hammers. He has practiced forging since he was a child. I have seen his strength and muscles."

Victor nodded in approval, and it was not surprising that Jace was only comparable to elite soldiers.

Not to mention that Jace is a scientist who uses technology to fight, Piltover can't compare to Noxus, the most powerful country today. If Jace could match a Noxian general, he would find it unbelievable.

"He is still growing. If he uses augmentation technology, or uses hex technology for a long time, it will gradually strengthen his physique and make his strength approach that of Camille."

"Congressman Camille's lower body is a metal prosthetic leg, I can't see what material it is." Victor sighed.

"Every breakthrough in her body was the crystallization of the entire city of Piltover at that time, and the Philos family was the god of Piltover at that time."

Ryan didn't want Victor to struggle with this, but encouraged: "If Zaun can really become an independent city recognized by all countries in the future, you can also have the resources to do those."

"Okay, let's get back to the point. Camille's level is called hero level in Runeterra. Not counting her legs, her physique is at least 30 times that of Caitlyn, or even higher." Ryan said. a metaphor.

"Heroic... Your Excellency should be one of them."

Victor exclaimed, with a certain fascination in his expression, as if he had found a small target.

Ryan shrugged slightly, noncommittal:

"Mages are different from warriors. I'm not as strong as you think. I was born to comprehend water attribute magic, so I'm just an auxiliary mage. And my physique is very poor. Possessing magic will inevitably pay a certain price."

Victor looked strangely at his weak boss, not believing at all, but the other party killed a seven-in and seven-out mage in Ionis.

The more Ryan said this, the more he felt that the other party was more mysterious and elusive.

"Don't talk about this, the general science is so much. As for some heroes of Ionia, General Darius, Garen of Demacia and other higher-level characters, you should not contact them too early. First Just set your goal at hero level.”

One thing Ryan didn't say was that Camille's legs were not considered average, but including those legs, they were not weaker than those who were one level higher.

But he believed in Victor, and this was also some kind of test he gave the other side.

"I understand, Lord Ryan. How many hex crystals are suitable for a core of heroic standards?"

Victor glanced at the table full of Hex Primordial Crystals, the blue light they radiated reflected in his eyes.

He understood what Ryan meant by saying this, and told him not to be too lofty or belittle himself.

Under the urging of this excellency, at least it is possible to evolve to the hero level.

"The most basic hero level is about 3, but now there is a question

question. ' Ryan looked at Victor with a serious look on his face.

"Please speak."

"Your soul can't withstand this power at one time, even one is dangerous." Ryan said.

Normally, mechanical ascension should be to let consciousness melt into machinery, but in the laws of Runeterra, consciousness melts into soul, and some runes can manipulate soul.

Ryan is not a master of souls, but the most immortal fortresses are soul books, and he has also come into contact with a lot.

But even so, he can preside over the transfer, and once the process begins, the outcome is irreversible.

"I'm just an ordinary person, and of course I can't withstand the power of crystals, so I researched this."

With a smile on his lips, Victor took out a rune-wrapped Hex gem from his backpack:

"Put it into my body, in place of my heart, and when I regain consciousness, my consciousness can take on the strength of a core."

"Your method is too primitive and full of gambling. Have you ever succeeded in an experiment?" Ryan expressed his disapproval.

"I haven't done human trials, and I have failed in other organisms, but I have calculated that this is the method with the highest probability of success." Victor clenched his hand holding the gem.

Ryan frowned and scolded: "Mr. Victor, your life now doesn't only belong to you, you are no longer the one who needs to gamble."

"..."

Victor bowed his head, but his eyes remained firm.

Yes, he doesn't need to gamble for physical reasons. But mechanical soaring is a gamble.

He also wanted to develop steadily, but he knew even more in his heart that the only way to develop steadily was to mechanize his body, and the best result would be only 5-10 times that of Caitlin's physique, and it would not strengthen his soul. Not the ending he wanted.

Seeing Victor's expression, Ryan sighed first:

"Well, now that you've made up your mind, I have an idea. Miss Caterina, bring the pot of potion."
