MTL - The Mage Behind the Scenes From the Twin Cities-Chapter 24 Senator Philos and her first proposal
"Members? No, no, no, Piltover already has 8 members. I don't think there is a need for one more." Mel's expression stiffened, and he repeatedly refused.
If you add another member of parliament with a Noxian background, then her existing aloof status in the parliament will collapse.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that her position in Noxus is actually much lower than Ryan's. Will her mother stand up for her?
"Then it's up to you to vote, and I think you can deal with those issues. Right, Ms. Camille."
"Cowardly, incompetent, noisy, ignorant, stupid. I haven't come back for so many years, and seeing you again is still so useless."
Ding! Ding! Ding!
The sound of the sword stepping on the floor tiles was accompanied by a sarcastic female voice in the air.
The door of the parliament was pushed open again, but the law enforcement officer at the door still did not dare to stop it, and even knelt on both sides.
Entering was a tall woman with short silver hair and legs with mechanical blades. She has a face that is even colder than Katerina, and her eyes are shining with dazzling blue light, watching every member of the parliament sitting in the seat.
"You're back..."
Heimerdinger, who was sitting at the top of the parliament, sighed.
"If I don't come back, Piltover will disappear. They are all useless idiots." Camille stepped forward and walked to the seat of the female congressman.
"Ms. Philos, Piltover welcomes you back."
The woman stood up respectfully and made room for Camille who came in.
"Who is she?"
Wei watched Camille sit down and whispered in Caitlin's ear.
"I don't know either. I know that the Philos family is headed by Stevan, who used to be the richest man in Picheng." Caitlin also looked at the powerful woman in confusion.
"It's a pity that the descendants have forgotten my name now." Camille raised her eyebrows, "But there are a lot of new faces."
She looked around and commented to the new members one by one:
"Myrdalda, your mother's knife is too slow. Sooner or later, it will be blunt, and then you should collect the body of your stupid brother."
Her eyes turned to Caitlin beside her:
"Giraman? She really looks like your mother. She was just like you when she was young. She wanted to protect the justice in her heart, but she didn't execute it thoroughly."
"I'm not like my mother, shouldn't you say your name?" Caitlin restrained her anger.
"Interesting, it seems that your mother rarely tells you bedtime stories. My name is Camille, child, Camille of the Philos family, the guardian of this city." Camille's eyes flashed blue light. , full of smiles.
"Hex!? You implanted Hex technology into your body?"
Jace, who had been observing Camille, couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise. He was most familiar with Hex, and he was the first to see through the blue light in her eyes.
On the other side, Victor, who was standing behind Ryan, also discovered this. He couldn't help but glance at the other party, and then looked at the other party's mechanical legs, and fell into contemplation.
Before coming this morning, Ryan told him that a figure who inspired him will be appearing in Parliament today. Now, he thinks he has seen it.
Is there a more interesting idea in the world than the hex core implanted in the body and the body replaced by a machine?
Victor's eyes, hidden behind the monocle, shone with enlightenment, as if a brand new road had been opened in front of him.
Camille didn't care about Jace's surprise, but looked at him with interest, and began to mutter:
"Oh? What a good eye, you are the founder of Hextech - Jess Tallis? Heimerdinger, can you imagine when I heard Hextech in Piltover when I was in Ionia Are you surprised? It's a science you've banned, it's funny."
Heimerdinger said solemnly: "Camille, I still don't think it's right to continue to study it. Studying Hextech is like studying magic, and Piltover will be destroyed by its hands. This power is now Being in Victor's hands is a threat to Piedmont."
"Then you should argue with Tallis for a whole day first. There is no right or wrong in power. We need Hextech as Piltover's blade."
Camille crossed her legs and said leisurely to Jace:
"Child, do you know the shell people?"
"Shell people? I've never heard of this name." Jace was stunned.
"Look, Heimerdinger, you don't even tell him about the danger, you just say objection?" Camille's smile was playful.
"Congressman Tallis, let me give you some popular science."
Ryan smiled, but glanced at Victor behind him.
Said it was for Jace, but in fact it was also lecturing for Victor.
"The shell people have a very long history. They originally originated from Shurima. The first large-scale discovery in recent years was in the underground of Zaun, where there are still many crystals that the shell people turned into."
"Crystal?" Jace seemed to understand something and looked surprised.
"The essence of the hex crystal you named is the original crystal that the shell people fused into."
Ryan ignored the shock of Jace and Victor, and went on to tell in detail:
"Long before humans set foot on the hot sands of Shurima, this desert was filled with unrestrained primordial magical power. Between a group of precipitous cliffs and jagged rocks, there is a hidden canyon.
"There, the ancient shell people excavated the original crystal deep in the desert. Every noble shell people will fuse with a crystal, and after their death, their consciousness will be stored in the crystal for a long time, and this That's where hex crystals come from."
"So that means, there are a lot of Hex Primordial Crystals in the underground mines of Zaun?" Jace couldn't help but asked.
The crystal he used in his research was financed by the Gila Mann family before, and was subsequently supplied by Mel, and he did not know its specific source.
"That's right, kid. Originally it was guarded by our Philos family, but because of my incompetent younger brother, it was taken by Myrdalda."
Camille looked at Mel indifferently:
"I heard that the mine was lost a few days ago, and it has belonged to Zaun."
"We are not strong enough to defend, and Zaun has occupied there." Mel's face was bitter.
"It's really useless." Camille shook his head, "First of all, according to Piltover's rules, let's vote first, and I will represent the Philos family as the ninth member of the parliament. Some people have raised objections. ?"
Under Camille's gaze, everyone, including Mel and Heimerdinger, voted in approval.
Soon, there was another seat on the councillor's table, and she sat on it.
"She's so majestic. I like her character. She seems to have a problem with Noxus, but she can only bear it." Wei whispered in Caitlin's ear again.
Caitlin looked puzzled: "Can you see that?"
"Well, look at that Noxian man, he always had a fake smile on his face. He never looked at us, but he looked a little serious when he looked at the new Senator." Wei analyzed.
"I thought you only knew about fighting. What about Senator Philos?" Caitlin quipped.
"I was born in the lower city, oh yes, now the independent name is Zaan. If I didn't have the eyesight, I would have been secretly killed by someone."
Wei muttered:
"She understands better, haven't you noticed, she has a strong personality, but she still enters the door when her name is called. I guess if you were the mage, she would have slashed your face with one leg long ago. The knife gave me an extremely dangerous feeling."
"I'm Mrs. Piltover. How could she treat me like that?" Caitlin said angrily, "I recall some things about Senator Philos. Maybe I have to call her grandma according to my age."
"It's not surprising, I've already seen that her silver hair is real." Wei instead nodded seriously.
Camille sat down on the seat of the House of Representatives belonging to the Philos family, twisted her neck to look around, and said first:
"We don't have any time to waste, let's go straight to the point. I propose to fully develop hex technology and augmentation technology, and let me lead the team to destroy Zaun."
