Chapter 94 Welcome to Zuan, the eighth councilor.
The unwiped blood stains on the Bridge of Progress caught Jace's attention, and the law enforcement officer responsible for driving noticed Jace's gaze and took the initiative to say:
"We have completely lost this war, Senator Tallis."
"How many people have we killed?" Jace frowned.
The law enforcement officer's expression became unnatural, and he whispered: "We did not die too many people, not even as many as the last conflict in the city, but the Noxians are basically all dead. .”
"So, what you are saying is that the Zaun people intentionally let us go in this war?"
"I think so, otherwise they would have killed us more easily than they had killed the Noxians, but instead they captured us and tied us together on the bridge until they When Piltover came out and returned to Zaun, he released us all," the law enforcement officer said.
When he said this, his eyes were full of fear.
If that wolf-like monster and Zaun's boss had rushed into the law enforcement camp at that time, would he still be driving for Councilor Talis and talking here now?
The result is obviously impossible
The law enforcement officer's words made Jace nodded.
Perhaps just as Mel said, Zu An's sincerity was sufficient.
They had power that Piltover could not understand, but they did not choose to capture Piltover, but chose to cooperate between the two cities.
Although it is said to be a cooperation, in fact, Piltover suffers no matter how you look at it. Not counting the land, control rights, and resources given to Zaun, just talking about the docks, jointly operating trade routes, etc., Zaun and Piltover share camp? No matter how you look at it, Piltover is unilaterally supporting Zaun.
But after comparing his feelings, Jace felt that what Zu An did was a bit merciful?
He has been involved in politics for many years. If he, if the MPs from Piltover win this war, then Zaun will be exploited even more seriously. Let alone want autonomy and independence, his spine will be broken. Disruption and complete collapse are possible.
Because of this, Jace was curious about what Zu An was thinking.
"We're here. I can't go on the road ahead. The cooperation agreement between the two cities has not been signed yet. During this period, Zaun still prohibits Piltover people from entering." The law enforcement officer said to Jace.
When Jace heard this, he felt strange and funny at the same time.
In the past, the Zaun people had to obtain the consent of the Piltover people before they could enter Piltover.
But now, it's the other way around. Without the consent of the Zaun people, even if the dance corridor on the Bridge of Progress is unguarded, the law enforcement officers still dare not cross that line.
Jace nodded, reached for his bag with a calm expression, and then walked to the dance corridor alone.
There was really no one to guard him. Jace followed the road the law enforcement officer had told him before to go to Zaun and found the screamer that went down to the trench zone.
At this moment, a group of Zaun people were waiting for the scream machine. When they saw Jace, a strange look appeared in their eyes.
Jace, who is tall, has a rich temperament, and is wearing the white clothes of a councilman. Not to mention how conspicuous he is, but just when Jace thought that the other party was going to do something, the Zaunites withdrew their gaze and continued talking about themselves. thing.
"My eldest sister is going to the upper city to become a council member. We are currently recruiting people. Do you plan to go?"
"To be honest, I really want to go to Piltover with my eldest sister to help her, but for now, I still want to stay in Zaun."
"Damn, do you want to say this? Who wouldn't want to stay in Zaun if possible? But if everyone thinks like you, what about the development of Zaun? I think we should go, if Weylan doesn't come, It’s because his wife is giving birth, what about you?”
"My mother is going to give birth?"
"Your mother gave birth to you! Where did you come from? Your mother died on the bridge."
"Can you speak nicer? Really, I was just joking. I'll go. Can't I go?"
Jace's eyes became strange as he listened to these conversations.
The Zaunites can legally go to Piltover, and yet these people still seem reluctant?
No, what happened?
In the past, the Zaun people wanted to run to Piltover!
Jace thought strangely, and then he heard a "click" and the screamer reached the top.
Taking a deep breath, Councilor Tallis walked into the screamer, but the Zaunites did not come in. Instead, they stood outside, as if waiting for someone.
There was only Jace in the huge scream machine, which allowed Jace to calm down. When the screamer stopped, Jace stepped out of the screamer. The machine arrived at the middle square of Zaun. This was also the first time Jace came to this place.
Frowning, his eyes were filled with gray, and then there were all kinds of "alchemy monsters" that were repressed in color, twisting and growing like creatures, and those buildings were so densely packed that Jace, who was slightly obsessive-compulsive, looked at them. Very dissatisfied.
This is Zaun's mid-level plaza. I heard that the ditch zone is messier, dirtier, and worse than this place!
Jace felt bitter. Although he told Mel that he didn't care and that he was willing to be this victim to secure a future for Piltover, how could he really not care?
While breathing, his nose and throat felt uncomfortable, and his lungs burned. Jace couldn't even adapt to the air here, let alone go down to Zaan and interact with the people here.
As he stood bitterly, a group of people suddenly walked up to Jace.
The one at the head was a long-haired woman. She was tall, a little shorter than Jace, but was she physically stronger than herself?
"Ha." She looked at herself, chuckled, raised her eyebrows, and with a cigar in her mouth, she took a big puff and blew out the smoke towards Jace. Then she threw the cigar to the ground and stretched out her hand. Stomp your foot.
"Sister, the boss said you can't throw garbage anywhere." On the side, a Zaun man stood up and said to her seriously.
Severka was startled and rolled his eyes, but he also bent down, picked up the crushed cigar, stuffed it into his windbreaker pocket, and muttered in a low voice: "There are so many damn rules that are broken. How much of an impact can a cigar make? ”
"Sister, a little adds up to a big thing. The boss said that our first priority now is to improve the sanitation situation. The wastewater pipes have been repaired, but the various toxic substances accumulated in the garbage dump, and Zaun's habit of throwing everything underground, The bad habit of throwing things into the water, if these problems don’t change, the air in Zaun will never get better.”
"Don't preach to me!" Severka glared at him, then looked at Jace, looked at Senator Tallis with his eyes, and said: "You are Senator Tallis, right?"
Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!
"I saw your photo on the airship. You look really good, no different from the photo."
"Who are you?" Jace frowned.
"Sevika, or rather, I am the new councilor of Piltover." Sevika stood up straight and said loudly.
Jess nodded and replied: "I know, I will remember your name."
"Why do you sound like you are threatening me?" Sevika's expression suddenly became unhappy.
The younger brother who had followed Savika for many years sighed, walked to Savika's side, and whispered: "Sister, you are the one who got stressed. It's not the same as before. He really just remembers your name." .”
"." Severka was stunned and realized that it seemed the same.
Now she is no longer the Savika she used to be. She is not the same Savika who was pointed in the face by the law enforcement officer and said, "I remember you," and then had to hide from the law enforcement officer.
Now she is the new MP for Piltover.
Thinking of this, Severka said to Jace:
"Then, welcome to Zaun, the Eighth Councilor of Zaun."
"Congressman Jess Tallis."
Jace nodded, but the expression on his face clearly showed that he didn't appreciate the title.
And Servika didn't care, and continued: "Do you need me to send someone to take you to see our boss?"
"No, I'll just go shopping by myself, thank you." Jace said.
"Okay."
"Let's go, take office in Piltover!" Severka raised his hand and called to his men. A group of people passed by Jace and got on the screamer.
And Jace also turned around and walked forward.
