120. The Burning of Piltover (4)
"Human beings seem to have lost their bestiality after putting on the cloak of civilization. We live together and use money and power to decorate our lives. However, to a certain extent, we are no different from our ancestors thousands of years ago.
"
"They are also eating the carcasses of other animals."
"From this perspective, humans may be some kind of natural ghouls, but we are out of control and we are tirelessly devouring the world. We see ourselves as the masters of the world and thus ignore the real dangers...
..."
——Thomas Telford, "On Mankind".
Putting down the book in his hand, a man touched the stubble on his chin. Since being imprisoned here, his concept of time has changed a lot. He can only judge how long he has been here by the length of his beard and hair.
After all, it's dark here.
He sat up from the simple bed and reached for the small mirror placed on the wooden table beside him. A Hextech desk lamp emitted a faint blue light on the wooden table.
These were some small things that he begged for after being imprisoned. As a member of parliament, those people were willing to give him some small privileges.
Staring into the eyes of the person in the mirror, Jess Tallis, the youngest member of the Piltover Parliament, showed a self-deprecating smile.
Yes, this is what privilege feels like.
Bitter.
He threw the mirror on the ground. With the sound of shattering, the guard outside the cell door opened the viewing window on the iron door and peered in with his formidable iron-gray eyes: "Congressman
Sir, what's the matter?"
"I have many things." Jace didn't even look at him. "But one of them definitely doesn't include talking to something worse than a pig like you."
The guard was not angry at his words, but calmly replied: "Your mirror is broken. Do you need us to send a new one during dinner time?"
"What I need most right now is not a mirror or dinner, but a punch in the face of those pigs in Parliament!"
Jess suddenly raised his fist and hit the bed with such force that the iron bed creaked: "I don't know who was involved in this, but they will definitely go to hell!"
The guard looked at him quietly and waited for him to calm down before speaking again.
"Your mirror is broken. Do you need us to bring a new one during dinner time?" He repeated his question. "In addition, your Excellency, Congressman, you'd better maintain the most basic respect for the Parliament. They have emphasized this in particular.
a little."
"respect?!"
Jace burst out laughing: "You're talking to me about respect? Do you know what they did? They authorized the use of refracting prisms in Piltover! Do you know what that is? Do you know what that does?
What are the consequences?!”
"Actually, I think I know, Mr. Congressman," the guard replied softly. "The vibration you felt half an hour ago was the aftermath of the refracting prism."
After saying this, he closed the viewing window.
Jace's face twitched violently, and he stood up with a heavy breath, barely able to stay standing - the refracting prism is one of the highest masterpieces of Hex technology. Don't think that it really is because of its gentle name.
A mirror, in fact, is the biggest reliance for members of Congress to maintain an optimistic view of the war.
During the two years since it was made, Jess thought the same thing.
Even if the Noxian warships approach the port, even if their mages began to enter the country in large numbers two months ago, even if there are suddenly many unfamiliar faces in Piltover, many people think so.
.
They once launched a refracting prism off the coast of Piltover, and half of the sea was dyed crimson. This kind of deterrence gave Piltover more say in offshore trade, and it was also their
As a city-state's greatest reliance on independence.
Before the war came, no one thought it would really come.
It's not until it really comes that you realize that all your preparations are in vain - the refracting prism cannot be launched in the city, and many people will die.
Jess is a staunch opponent and a peace negotiator. He advocates an exchange of interests with the Noxians. According to the existing intelligence, they believe that the Noxians are nothing more than plotting between Hex Technology and Peel.
For Twov's maritime trade, as long as they agree to withdraw their troops first, Piltover will have a lot of time to plan what to do next.
He did not believe that so many scholars gathered together would not be able to produce weapons capable of leading wars.
Unfortunately, the council disagreed with everything they said. They refused to make concessions and cough up some money, even if most of the outer city was taken by Noxus.
The youngest congressman sat slumped on the ground, with almost no light in front of his eyes.
He was well aware of the power of the refracting prism and where it would land. He was one of the few who opposed the council's move. There were very few people on his side, and his fate was to be temporarily imprisoned.
Parliament's rhetoric was that his imprisonment would last until 'the end of the war'.
The war is over...
How many Piltover ladies will be left then?
He almost had the urge to laugh out loud.
----------------------------------------
The world is spinning.
Loken stood up silently, the blue composite shield on his body flashing. Darius stood beside him, holding the ax warily.
Not long after they made the decision to support Kronos, a red beam of light fell from the sky and destroyed everything in sight. If Loken's power armor hadn't had a composite shield, the two of them would have been the same now.
More bad luck than good.
"The Parliament of Piltover is probably crazy," Darius said in a disgusted tone. "This is their own city."
"It's normal for this kind of thing to happen. Human nature cannot stand the test, Darius. But the question is, where did they get this kind of weapon?"
Gavier Loken frowned deeply: "I have seen their report on Hex Technology. The energy generated by the magic crystal is blue... We
What I just saw was a red beam of light."
"Maybe it's some kind of Hex technology variant?" Darius made a guess.
"It's not that simple, Brother Darius. If you want to ask me what I have learned from the past battles, I can only tell you that the only thing I have learned is this."
He raised his head and stared at the sky that was getting late, staring at the dark blue with a little pink color - Gavier Loken said in a serious tone: "When you don't want something to happen,
It’s bound to happen.”
