Battle of the Two Cities: Begins with the Mage

"You and Mel seem to have different ideas. She is very optimistic about Jace, but you chose Victor." Katerina shook her head and followed Ryan.

Ryan didn't care whether Victor could hear him or not, and said without thinking:

"Hex Technology has infinite potential. Since you have to choose one, why not choose the one that you think is better. We are all right, she believes that only newer technologies can be tapped. In my eyes, those who have experienced the bottom life , People with clear goals are more valuable for investment.”

"What do you think, Mr. Victor. I'm Ryan Meredith from Noxus." Ryan held out his hand to Victor.

"Ryan Meredith, the legendary Adjutant of Blood Mist...I didn't expect to see you in person." Victor's face was surprised, he stretched out his hand and shook it with Ryan before letting go.

This was Piltover, and no matter how much he wanted to come to Noxus, he wouldn't have a fight with a disability like him in the banquet hall.

"Adjutant of Blood Mist, a nostalgic title. Those Ionians think that I am more bloodthirsty than demons, but unfortunately I am just protecting myself." Ryan spread his hands helplessly.

"I really didn't expect to be approached by a big man like you one day. Mr. Meredith means that he wants to invest in me?" Victor didn't have much interest on his face, just a formulaic reply.

"Listening to Mr. Victor's tone, I don't seem interested. Unfortunately, I wanted to use magic to show you your body, or to talk about how to apply Hex to the people's livelihood industry." Ryan said with regret, about to turn away.

"Wait a minute! Mr. Meredith."

Ryan paused and took a glass of wine from the waiter's hand:

"Call me Ryan, your talent deserves respect."

"Lord Ryan... What you said before about magic, Hex and people's livelihood..." Victor coughed twice, breathing a little short, as if the person who was about to drown caught the straw for survival.

He was born in the lower city of Zaun, and his body is already weak, and coupled with the close contact with the industrial waste water and turbid air of Zaun, it is a miracle that he can survive to this day.

It's not that he hasn't tried the treatment, but it doesn't work at all, even if he uses hex technology, he can't see any hope of surviving.

Looking at his expression, Ryan couldn't help feeling jealous of Yingcai, and raised the wine glass in his hand:

"Literally, drink this glass of wine, I think you'll like it."

Victor just wanted to apologize and said that his body couldn't stand alcohol, when he saw Ryan's right hand lit up with a dark blue light, and a mysterious rune was embedded in the drink.

He saw that rune when he was studying Hextech, and it seemed to mean "net".

This time he did not refuse, but took the wine glass curiously and stared at the dark blue liquid inside.

"The magic is really exquisite, far better than the shock of Hextech." Victor sighed.

"It's just a shoddy magic potion." Ryan disagreed. "At most, it can delay the deterioration of your body. If you really want to recover, you have to do more preparations."

"That's enough, thank you very much for your help."

Victor didn't doubt either, and drank the potion from the cup with a smile.

The liquid was flowing in his body with warmth, and he felt that every cell in the body was rhythmically, jumping...

It seemed like in ten years, Victor had never felt so energized, like a dying old man rejuvenated.

"This...this...the effect is incredible." Victor's hands were shaking slightly with excitement, and his face was full of incredible colors.

The hex they studied was a technological invention based on magic, and he thought that hex was no longer inferior to magic. But it turns out that the two, at least from now on, are far from each other.

"Thank you again for your gift."

Victor stood up and bowed deeply to Ryan.

He is not afraid of death, but he wants to at least fulfill his wish before he dies. Originally, he was desperate. Heimerdinger denied his and Jace's research, and his body could hardly hold it anymore.

Unexpectedly, all this seems to usher in the dawn.

Victor raised his head and looked at Ryan carefully, and asked tentatively:

"Your Excellency Ryan, did you say that Hextech is used for people's livelihood?"

"You should know about Noxus. Although it occupies the largest land in the center of Valoran, due to some historical reasons, most of the land in the empire is desert, and ordinary technology can't bring it back to life."

"I have heard of it, so Noxus will continue to wage wars and plunder the resources needed to survive." Victor nodded in understanding.

Born in Zaun, he can understand this feeling. The living environment of the people in the lower city is not better than that of the Noxians. If you want to live, you can only fall into darkness.

From there he swore an oath to use his knowledge to change Zaun and make Zaun as prosperous as Piltover.

Ryan's words resonated in his heart. He is happy to discuss these kinds of issues with each other.

"Victor, with your knowledge, how many options are there to improve the environment in Noxus." Ryan suddenly turned to ask.

"Well...about three."

Victor thought for a while, then raised three fingers.

Ryan showed an attitude of listening and made a gesture of please.

"The best and easiest way, as Noxus is doing." Victor said seriously, "War! Plunder the resources of other regions.

source. "

"To cure the symptoms but not the root cause, the essence still needs support from other regions. With the growth of the population, dissatisfaction between regions will intensify, unless the war continues to control the population." Ryan shook his head.

It was something Noxus had always done, but it was also something he and his old boss didn't want to do. The power of the Empire should be focused on doing more meaningful things, rather than being consumed by some pointless war.

"The other two methods are to fundamentally improve the deserts of Noxus." Victor said in a serious tone, "Technology and magic."

"I underestimated the power of magic before. There are quite a few mages in Noxus. With the magic ability displayed by Lord Ryan, they can completely purify the entire Noxus."

When he studied Hex, he knew clearly that Hex technology was just a substitute for magic, and it was to enable ordinary people to use magic.

Now that he has personally experienced Ryan's amazing magic, he feels that the existing Hexian invention is still a long way from the real magic, which is also the direction he will study in the future.

"Magic can indeed do it, but it is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and it is necessary to form a team of mages for energy maintenance. The value that a magist can create is far greater than doing this, and the empire will not agree to this proposal." Ryan shook regretfully. Shaking his head.

Neither the current incompetent emperor nor his wise and sensible old boss would allow a powerful and rare mage to do these things.

"That can only be the use of technology." Victor said here, and understood Ryan's intention to find him.

"You want to use hex technology to change the land of Noxus? I don't think Piltover will hand over the hex technology." Victor is not optimistic about this.

He actually wanted to help Noxus, not only because Noxus was very similar to the Zaun he was born, but also because it would provide him with a lot of data to support the restoration of the lower city ecology.

But unfortunately, in his expectation, Piltover and Jess will definitely not agree to hand over this technology, even if it is only used to improve people's livelihood, in order to save more people.

"Hahaha, Victor, don't underestimate Noxus."
