Chapter 275 Jace’s Worry Stillwater Prison
“Is this a signal from the Noxus Empire to be released in advance?”
Jace’s cold words struck the Parliament like a steel hammer. In the hall, he attracted the attention of other congressmen.
"I'm just using the rights given to me by the Noxus Empire." Huo Jixing chuckled.
Jace could not deny this, picked up the letter paper on the table and continued to read.
"At the Piltover port, you didn't wait for the Piltover guards to come over and dealt with some thugs who were rampaging the port."
"Although this action helped the port, it blatantly violated Piltover's policy. Law."
"There was also the Zodiac basement not long ago. You ignored the presence of Piltover law enforcement officers and took away the property belonging to the Zodiac basement."
Jace raised his eyebrows. Holding the letter in his hand, he looked at the congressmen present.
“I have some intelligence information about Zaun here, and Mr. Huo Jixing also made a lot of noise in the dance corridor.”
Jess stood up. There were gold and red lines on the white dress, symbolizing the nobility of the parliamentarian.
An atmosphere of silence filled the parliament hall, almost freezing the air.
The members’ eyes fell on Huo Jixing, waiting for Huo Jixing’s answer.
However, Huo Jixing was indifferent and stood there, looking around at the congressmen present calmly.
Suddenly.
The silent atmosphere turned into invisible pressure, making people breathless.
The congressmen began to feel a little uneasy, their eyes wandered around the conference table, and from time to time they looked at their companions beside them.
Finally, Huo Jixing looked at Mel.
This member of the Myrdalda family is an important presence in the Piltover Parliament.
Mel no longer remained silent, took a deep breath, and spoke slowly.
"Jace, he is a consultant sent by the Noxus Empire to assist the Myrdalda family in solving some problems that the Piltover Council cannot handle."
"This is a secret order signed by the head of the family and me. , with the consent of the parliament."
Mel picked up a piece of paper stamped with the Medalda family emblem on the table, and looked at Jace with a faint look.
Jace’s sudden attack was indeed beyond everyone’s imagination.
He usually seems steady and reserved, but now he seems to be a different person, with fierce words and a firm attitude.
But she believes this farce will end soon.
The Myrdalda family’s current position of power is inseparable from the Noxus Empire.
Meier thought of the owner of the family and her mother who had always paid attention to Huo Jixing.
Their family interests are closely connected with the interests of the Noxus Empire, which is why Mel can face Jace's attack so calmly.
She already knew that today's parliament was just a formality.
Piltover's Chamber of Commerce families and inventors need massive wealth to support current Hextech research.
There is no way they could offend the Noxus Empire, nor would they allow anyone to disrupt current trade relations.
Jess looked at Mel's hands and saw a touch of confidence and determination in them, as if he was speaking.
This is a fact. No matter how hard you try, you cannot change the status of the Noxus Empire in the hearts of many council members.
Jace clenched the letter paper in his hand and pierced the paper with his fingertips, silently expressing the struggles and contradictions in his heart.
The questions he asked seemed tricky, but they were actually meant to protect Piltover's position.
At the same time, we are also exploring the true attitude of the Noxus Empire.
He has too many emotions for Piltover, and even though he understands the terrifying power of the Noxus Empire, he still has to maintain a certain degree of independence.
Jace's eyes flickered, thinking of the peace agreement he had reached with Silko.
Zaun gains independence from Piltover.
The scene then was just like it is now.
"Trample Piltover?"
Jace looked down at the golden ring on his finger.
It is a symbol of the identity of Piltover Councilor.
Jace thinks more and takes a longer view than most of the congressmen present.
Piltover is like a child holding a golden egg, without the absolute power to protect this wealth.
Even after having Hextech.
It just gives Piltover the power to face some weak countries and forces.
But compared to the Noxus Empire.
Jace looked at everyone present. When no one said anything, he let the pieces of letter slip from his hand. dropped on the table.
The facts were before his eyes, and he was powerless.
"For Piltover and Zaun, the Noxus Empire has no intention of conquering."
Huo Jixing spoke up at the right time, his voice firm and powerful, flying in the parliament Over the hall.
"What the empire is now pursuing is stable development and trade prosperity. We are willing to maintain good trade relations with the congressmen here."
When Swain failed to safely handle the internal issues of the empire , the Cuifali Council will never initiate a war with another country again.
Brown Darkwill's harm to the Empire and Black Rose's plot deeply affected the Empire's future strategy.
“But now, someone is secretly provoking conflicts in Piltover and affecting the interests of the empire.”
Huo Jixing looked at Jace deeply, seeming to see through it. his thoughts.
“The most important thing is that they should never have attacked the Leiser Guard Secret House and massacred the soldiers of the Leiser Guard Corps for no reason.”
“I don’t think all of you here should either. Will such restless forces be allowed to exist? ”
Professor Heimerdinger saw Jace sitting down slightly calmly and spoke in a calm voice.
"Piltover will maintain stable order in the city and conduct a thorough investigation of the restless forces in the dark."
His eyes fell on Camille.
The Philos family has the most powerful intelligence system in Piltover, and their spies are spread across various industries.
“It is Silko’s Eye of Zaun that has resurrected and disrupted the order of Piltover and Zaun.”
"And there are hidden forces behind it."
Camille leaned on the table and chair, a look of pity flashing in her eyes.
She originally wanted to test Huo Jixing's determination through Jace, but things did not develop as she expected.
"My suggestion is to conduct a thorough investigation of Piltover, suspecting that the secret tentacles are reaching out to the Chamber of Commerce family."
As soon as Camille finished speaking, Mel slowly raised his right hand and whispered Open your mouth.
"The Myrdalda family has no problem and can cooperate with the parliament's actions." The parliamentarians seemed to have known the news about Camille for a long time.
Although Silko's Eye of Zaun brought countless disasters to Piltover and Zaun.
But the Piltover of today is no longer the Piltover of the past.
The councilors looked at Professor Heimerdinger and said one after another that there was no problem and they were willing to cooperate and maintain the stability of the city.
Among the many council members, Jess fell silent.
He sat in his seat with his eyes closed tightly, as if trying to calm his inner emotions.
Jace took a deep breath, and the huge red and black picture in Mel's room suddenly appeared in his mind.
"Is this the Noxus Empire?"
Seeing that the councilors around him were in a slightly urgent mood, he agreed to Camille's proposal without any hesitation.
Bang bang! Bang bang! Bang bang!
Huo Jixing clapped gently, expressing satisfaction with the MPs who were aware of current affairs.
In his heart, being able to negotiate is the best solution.
Violence is his second choice and the last resort.
And among the congressmen present, there are three heroes, and Caitlin, the police chief, is also listening.
"I have a small object here that I need Professor Heimerdinger to take a look at."
Huo Jixing took out a metal square box from his waist.
Its surface is engraved with exquisite patterns and the packaging is gorgeous, showing what is inside is very important.
Huo Jixing did not step forward, but extended his mental strength, gently lifted the metal square box, crossed the conference table, and placed it in front of Professor Heimerdinger.
In Piltover, the colleges can be divided into the Yodel College of Science and Progress and other colleges.
Rumor has it that the Yodel Academy of Science and Progress was born around the same time as Piltover.
And since the establishment of the college, many great inventors with outstanding reputations have emerged.
There are many heroes among them.
For example, the future guardian Jace, the mechanical pioneer Victor, and the alchemist Singed, etc.
As the dean, Professor Heimerdinger has become the idol of countless scholars with his profound knowledge.
"What is this?"
Professor Heimerdinger asked, with caution and curiosity in his voice.
Huo Jixing laughed softly and said instead of answering directly.
"Professor, you will know after you open it and take a look."
Hearing this, Professor Heimerdinger stretched out his plush hands and carefully opened the metal square box in front of him. orange metal parts.
Jess also stood up and walked over, looking closely at the metal parts in the square box.
"It looks like a wrist part, somewhat humanoid, a bit like a Hex mimic."
Professor Heimerdinger's eyes tightened, and he could see something different from the metal parts. Less familiar technology.
As a yordle with a long life, Professor Heimerdinger has a deep and extensive understanding of technology.
He is not limited to one subject, but has in-depth research on various technologies.
Professor Heimerdinger stared at the metal parts, lost in thought.
“This is not just a simple part, it also contains some technologies that we have not yet mastered or only guessed.”
Hex technology, alchemy technology and biotechnology, these are all This is an area that Piltover and Zaun are good at.
The metal part in front of me seems to integrate the characteristics of these technologies, showing new possibilities.
“Is this a technological product produced by the forces behind the Eye of Zaun?”
Jace withdrew his observation gaze, suppressed the fear in his heart, and looked up at Huo Jixing.
"Perhaps Professor Heimerdinger will give us the answer." Huo Jixing said with a smile.
After Singed's research, many of the metal parts of the Source Project warriors are technology from the Yodel Academy of Science and Progress.
This means that there may be betrayers within Heimerdinger's academy.
“I will give you an explanation.”
Professor Heimerdinger closed the metal square box and said solemnly to Huo Jixing.
In this meeting, Professor Heimerdinger's presence was not very strong.
But no one dares to comment on his status.
Therefore, Professor Heimerdinger’s words surprised the congressmen present.
Deep in their hearts, an uneasy feeling emerged.
Evolution Days before, the unimaginable could happen to Piltover.
"Yes, I hope Professor Heimerdinger can study the parts inside as soon as possible. This is related to the power behind the Eye of Zaun." Huo Jixing nodded.
After the meeting.
The members stood up and left the parliament hall in twos and threes.
Their faces had different expressions, some were satisfied, some were worried.
Huo Jixing and Camille walked side by side and left the parliament hall.
On the other side, Jace and Professor Heimerdinger left together, Caitlin followed them.
As everyone left, the parliament hall gradually became empty.
However, the impact of this meeting is far from over.
Stillwater Prison
Located on an island south of the Piart River.
Under the dim night, this area is shrouded in mist, seeming to cast a mysterious veil over the buildings in the center of the island.
Huo Jixing stood on the shore, looking at the cold buildings in the distance.
This prison is the most rigorous detention place in Piltover, housing many serious criminals and dangerous elements.
"Stillwater Prison is directly under the jurisdiction of the Parliament." Camille stepped out of the dark shadow.
"There is almost no communication with the outside world. News will only come out when prisoners are detained."
She looked at Huo Jixing in front of her and said in a serious voice: "Are you sure you want to go in now?"
