Lux's Magic Penetration Rod

Chapter 111 【0108】 Tea party with old friends

Heimerdinger, who knocked on the door of the manor, was not taken to the living room of the manor by a servant to wait like other visitors - the heavy door remained motionless as a whole, but the decorative patterns on it began to flow like water, and finally , in the lower right corner of the door, a small door that seemed to match Heimerdinger's height opened.

Heimerdinger glanced at the gear exposed at the port when the small door opened, then straightened his appearance and stepped into the door.

Inside the door, a tall figure also wearing a hood and cloak seemed to have been waiting for a long time.

"Professor Heimerdinger, I thought this door would never be used."

"I hope so too, but things in the world are often not as precise as the operation of gears."

"Same metaphor as ever... Come on, Professor Heimerdinger, we can have a chat."

……………………

Two figures, one tall and one short, walked through the carefully trimmed flowers in the dark night, and soon came to an inconspicuous small house - its appearance was unremarkable, and most people entered the manor. After that, it will only be used as a tool room in a corner of the garden to store debris.

The leader gently opened the door, waited for Heimerdinger to come in, then carefully locked the door, then stepped to sit in the master's seat and gently took off his hood.

"Professor Heimerdinger, what would you like to drink? Coffee or black tea?"

Under the hood, her gray-white hair was meticulously styled, and on her tough face, the traces of several body modification surgeries were not obtrusive, but gave people a capable look.

The corners of her mouth were slightly raised, but there was no smile at all. She only gave off a polite and reasonable look with obvious warning.

"No need, Camille - just water will do." Heimerdinger looked a little tired and jumped directly onto the chair after entering the room. "I need to stay calm, absolutely calm, anything that can arouse excitement. It’s best not to touch it at all.”

"That's such a pity." Camille said it was a pity, but her tone was extremely calm, without any pity at all. "I just got a batch of black tea from Ionia. After the war started, I I haven’t had it in years.”

"Ionia's black tea..." Heimerdinger subconsciously widened his eyes, but then shook his head, "Forget it, I'm not here to drink tea."

"Of course not. The respected Professor Heimerdinger is a scientist whose mission is to bring progress to everyone." Camille smoothly took out a tea set from the cabinet on the side and cooked herself a cup of tea skillfully. Of course, he did not forget to pour a glass of water directly and hand it to Heimerdinger. "Coming to a place he hates, he must have his own great purpose."

Camille's words made Heimerdinger look a little restless. He took the water glass and wanted to say something several times, but he never knew how to speak. He could only drink water frequently to hide his embarrassment.

"Ms. Camille, I need your help." Finally, Heimerdinger, who had made up his mind, drank all the water in the quilt, and then placed the empty cup on the small table next to him, "Noxa This person——"

"The Noxians did not break the rules." Camille reached out to pick up the cup and refilled Heimerdinger with a glass of water. "No matter how far-fetched the reason is, it is still within the scope of 'reasonable'. "

"This is a notification letter from the Noxians." Heimerdinger did not take the water glass, but took out a folded piece of crumpled paper from his pocket and handed it to Camille. "There is not even a shred of truth in the whole story."

"But it can't be judged as a lie." Camille, who received the notice letter, didn't even look at it, and turned to playing with her tea-making tools. "Even if there are subjective speculations about the description of objective facts, But no one can accuse it of being a lie and an extremely clever method."

"You can blame it," Heimerdinger said, "The lost Hex Crystal has nothing to do with Jace. As long as the academy follows the clues, they can always find traces of espionage operations."

"Before the external spy is found, half of the members of the parliament need to be replaced." Camille's calm face showed a substantial expression of ridicule for the first time, "And, at most, this will allow you to protest when A little more urgency, a little more confidence - what's the point?"

"..."

Heimerdinger was silent.

In the small room, the only sound was the gurgling sound of water boiling.

Camille's words were like real hurt, making Heimerdinger feel suffocated. He knew very well that what the other party said was right.

Among the members of the Parliament, except for himself and Mrs. Gila Mann, everyone else was more or less involved with Noxus. They had previously tried to pinpoint the source of the explosives as "Jace's Lost", and also It's not like he didn't mean to cover up his behavior.

"Professor Heimerdinger, you have always advocated democracy and believe that power should be limited." Camille turned off the fire and poured herself a cup of black tea. The refreshing aroma of tea instantly filled the small room, "And Isn’t the current parliament exactly what you want to see?”

"They do not represent the real Piltover." Heimerdinger whispered in an almost inaudible voice. "There is no Piltover in their eyes."

"You see, this is the problem." Camille didn't care about the scalding hotness of the tea and happily took a sip while it was still hot. "Which congressman can make the economy more prosperous will be supported by everyone. And the huge Noxus is the best partner for these guys who want to make quick money."

"..."

"Especially after the war between the Noxians and the Ionians, a lot of trade was affected." Camille continued her true hurt, "At this time, in order to maintain the prosperity of this city, Hua Isn’t it logical to tighten the grip of Noxus and open a few convenient doors for some Noxian nobles?”

Camille's words made Heimerdinger restless. He wanted to jump off this chair that was obviously a bit too high for him, but he felt that it was too abrupt. In the end, he could only awkwardly pick up the water glass and start tossing again. The ground watered itself.

"Piltover is a port city after all." Seeing Heimerdinger starting to drink water, Camille's face showed an invisible smile, "Trade is the lifeblood of this city, and the Gate of the Sun is the lifeblood of this city." The heart of the city, but unfortunately, it seems that the heart of Piltover may soon no longer belong to Piltover.”

"Ms. Gray Lady." Heimerdinger finally put down the water glass and changed his title. "This is exactly what I am worried about - we must stop this erosion."

"A bad economy will make the people very dissatisfied." Camille asked knowingly. "If you insist on going your own way, you may lose your seat in the parliament. The people will not care about a mine in Zaun. They don’t care about a noble in Besilico, they just want the economy to be prosperous forever.”

"But we all know that's impossible."

"So whoever lets the economy slump will be unlucky."

"..."

"You see, the problem of the Piltover Parliament is so prominent." Camille looked at Heimerdinger who fell into silence again, her tone was calm and full of power, "In our good times, they can They use various tricks to consume the people's excess enthusiasm, but when problems arise, they are just a group of dogs without a leader."

"This is exactly why I need your help." Heimerdinger finally sighed, "At this time, the Parliament and even the system of the Parliament need to make changes - the eve of the Evolution Day has arrived, as long as the darkness is pierced , is the brightest dawn."

"What is dawn?" Camille raised the tea cup again, looking very interested. "Professor Heimerdinger, what do you mean to say is that the two little guys Jace and Victor have really Have you mastered how to use the Hex Crystal?"

"That's right." Heimerdinger nodded without hesitation, "They have found a way to use the huge energy in the artificial Hex crystal. Through high-frequency vibration, it can replace almost all the energy we currently know. Energy means…”

"You are very optimistic about them." Camille commented calmly, "This is not in line with your style. I remember that when Hakeem first proposed Hex's body modification, you were strongly opposed to it."

"Hakeem...oh, another talented kid." Heimerdinger blinked, "But the theory he proposed is too dangerous. The energy in the natural Hex crystal is too huge, which is different from the artificial Hex Crystal is completely different. Once this technology really spreads, no one can guarantee that all those who carry out transformation will be as clear-headed and calm as Hakim."

Heimerdinger's words caused Camille to delay her drinking tea for a moment - even though her heart had been replaced with a complete natural Hex crystal, at this moment, Camille still felt an indescribable feeling. Feeling distressed.

Maybe - just maybe - if Heimerdinger had agreed to develop this technology, Hakim might have stayed in Piltover.

He likes crystallography very much and has top-notch attainments in human body modification. After losing his love, maybe his career can allow him to stay in Piltover?

In that case, he might have more students and disciples, and someone might perform operations on him in his later years. As of now, there are only two people drinking tea in this small room.

Lowering her head slightly, Camille drank the last drop of black tea in the cup, blinked, and then raised her head again.

"But that is in the past after all, Professor Heimerdinger." Her tone was as cold as ice, as if she had completely abandoned the influence of her past feelings on herself, "Explain your reason for coming, it's time to go to bed soon It’s time.”

"I hope you can help eliminate this excuse for the Noxians." Heimerdinger sat up, "and eliminate as many unsettling factors as possible - to maintain the peaceful transition of the Parliament."

"So, what can Philos get?" Camille's response this time was extremely direct, "A seat? Or more?"

"The patent for the artificial Hex Crystal is in your hands." Heimerdinger said helplessly, "You hold the door to true evolution. At most, we have found a key. As long as you keep it, In front of the door, this door will be like the Gate of the Sun, bringing everything to the Philos family."

"Interesting metaphor." Camille blinked and finally showed an interested expression, "Another Gate of the Sun... That's so well said, Professor Heimerdinger, you almost convinced me - if I didn’t realize that even if I didn’t do anything today, this would still be the result.”

"..."

Heimerdinger blinked twice in embarrassment. He had carefully prepared the metaphor for a long time, but it was exposed at the speed of light just after he said it. This undoubtedly made him lose his last weight.

He really wanted to say it was different, but he couldn't tell what was different at the moment.

But to his surprise, Camille filled in the second half for him.

"The plight of Piltover has proven that a Sun Gate alone is not enough - the economy depends on Noxus, and the result is that order is also highly dependent. Although I disagree with some of your naive ideas, this time , but I stand on the same side as you when it comes to Hextech issues."

Heimerdinger's eyes widened delicately upon hearing this.

"Your choice will not give Feros more benefits, but it can provide the order Feros needs." Camille picked up the teapot again, but this time poured two cups of tea. "The Feros family has no population. I want to become the fuel of the Noxus Empire, and I have no ambition to conquer and rule a continent, so I am happy to maintain Piltover's independence and stability."

"Yeah! Yes, yes!" Heimerdinger nodded frequently, "That's the truth!"

"Then, I wish us happy cooperation." Camille handed a cup of black tea to Heimerdinger, "Dear Professor Heimerdinger."

Heimerdinger hesitated for a moment, then finally took the cup of tea and drank the still warm tea without hesitation.

"A member of the parliament, and a law enforcement officer." Camille also drank her glass. "The bathroom is on the right side of the door."

Putting down the tea cup, Camille stood up and took off her cloak.

Under the cloak, there is a slim and elegant dress, and a pair of legs that are like blades after Hex's body modification.

As the door to the room was pushed open, the Hex Crystal at Camille's back began to charge, and the switches on the outside of her legs were opened. Two triangular hooks with long special ropes sprang out, and after grabbing The garden wall suddenly tightened.

The next moment, the rope was recovered, Camille started suddenly, and the whole person quickly disappeared into the night.

And Heimerdinger also stood up hurriedly, went out and turned right.

Philos Manor seemed to have regained its tranquility.
