The Mage Behind the Scenes From the Twin Cities

When Ryan took Katerina into the banquet hall, the eyes of all the nobles present were focused on him. They all stopped their original conversation and raised their glasses together to greet him.

This banquet was originally used to gather everyone on the Day of Evolution to raise money for the Myrdalda family who were fighting.

But with Ryan's entry, the previous purpose is no longer important. They were gathered together only to welcome the visit of the Noxian emissary.

"Good afternoon, sir, you can call me Polpok, a loyal business partner of Noxus."

"Good afternoon, on behalf of the Gilamain family, I offer my sincere apologies to your Excellency. What happened this morning was abrupt by the little girl."

"Guian, I'm Stevan, the head of the Philos family. I heard about your deeds from the Battle of Presidian, and I admire you very much."

"..."

Picheng nobles rushed to Ryan's side like bees, seeing that his eyes were like sweet honey, his face was full of enthusiasm, and they sent blessings without rudeness.

At this time, Ryan didn't reject people like he used to, but instead returned the salute with a smile and wrote down the names of these people.

After about half an hour, he got rid of the group of nobles, holding a glass of wine in his hand, and leading the somewhat numb Katerina towards Mel:

"I hope I didn't ruin your plan today, Senator Myrdalda." Ryan raised his glass slightly.

"The fundraising went well. My mother told me since I was a child that I should keep all the variables in my hands." Mel smiled and clinked glasses with Ryan and drank the wine in the glass.

"Do you think you can control everything?" Katarina couldn't help saying.

It was torture for her to let assassins attend the banquet. The people around her were too enthusiastic, but she could see the fakeness of these people. She found that this kind of situation was completely out of her control, and it was not as simple and direct as stabbing a human body with a sharp blade to kill.

Mel looked at Katarina up and down, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly: "Miss Kekao, I don't need and can't control everything, I just need to understand today's protagonist."

"Lord Meredith?"

Katerina was even more puzzled, Ryan didn't seem like someone who could be counted by Mel.

"Being able to walk into the banquet hall means that we are not enemies. I am not a Noxian, but my mother is. I heard that your Excellency and my mother have a good relationship."

"I've only met Mrs. Myrdalda a few times, but my former boss had a good personal relationship with her. Now that your mother is in a lot of trouble, I think I should help you if I can." Eun took a sip of wine.

He had to admit that Meier has a remarkable political talent, and can quickly detect and adapt to changes in various relationships.

His previous meeting with Mel couldn't have given him a good face. Mel was born in Noxus but had Piltover's stance, and he represented Noxus.

Mel seemed to think of this very quickly, and it didn't take long before he sent him an invitation in the name of Noxus Myrdalda.

Those alone, Mel's talent is enough for Ryan to appreciate.

If you really want to replace Mel with Katerina, even if the two have similar resources, it will definitely become a mess.

Of course, if these two were thrown into the lower city of Zaun, it would be a completely different ending.

"My mother has a lot of troubles. Since I was a child, she was either in war or on her way to the battlefield." Mel's face was helpless.

"There are very few generals as pure as her in Noxus, and there are only her, General Darius and Major General Klay." Ryan said with a trace of regret.

"How can I remember that General Kekao is also, and his eldest daughter, Miss Kekao, has the name of a genius assassin, and will definitely take his place in the future."

With a charming smile on her face, Mel raised the wine glass in her hand to Katerina.

With discomfort on her face, Katarina clinks glasses with Mel in silence, and drank the wine in her glass.

She is a competitive person, but in the current situation, she feels clumsy and terrifying, and she is far less adept than the woman in front of her.

"Sooner or later, Katarina's potential is no worse than mine." Ryan said with a smile, "But in comparison, you seem to care more about your protagonist, and even can't wait."

His eyes turned to a sturdy young man in the hall, and he noticed that Mel's eyes were always looking at that man unconsciously.

Of course, Ryan has seen the photo of the young man no less than ten times, hanging on the streets and alleys of Piltover. He is the genius of Piltover - Jess Tallis.

"I'm sorry, but he is really our Piltover baby. I never thought that a child born in an ordinary family would have such excellent talent." Mel's face was apologetic, but his words were full of amazement. .

"Excellent talent and talent. But still like a young child, you Piltover-born people seem to have this problem."

Ryan's gaze only stayed on the big boy for a second, and then he turned his gaze to the young man on crutches on the other side. The body as thin as a bamboo pole seemed to be about to fall down, and his face was even more ill.

The young man on crutches is Victor, a scientist far better than Jace in his mind.

Mel heard Ryan's voice, looked at Jace with a blurred gaze, shook his head and said, "After all, people always need experience to grow, Piltover is a good stage, I can give him time. "

"Betting on the future of a city?" Ryan raised his brows slightly, showing a little more interest.

"Your Excellency, this is not a gamble, but a step into a new future. He is our treasure boy." Mel had confidence on his face.

Ryan can feel that Mel seems to have more confidence in the future of Jace Tallis than that Mr. Tallis himself. He could see that the Jace was still confused, like a puppy seeking comfort. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

When the two of them were talking, Jace also saw this side, and when he saw Mel, his face showed surprise.

He strode over and whispered in Mel's ear with an anxious expression:

"Can you take a step to speak?"

Mel looked at Ryan embarrassedly and said apologetically, "Sorry sir, I may have to excuse me for a while."

"It's okay, I hope you can chat happily with your treasure boy."

Ryan raised his glass without hesitation, and quietly watched Jace, who had an eager face, lead Mel out of the banquet hall.

It seems that the little milk dog has found its owner, and now it's time to appease it. When the backs of the two disappeared, Ryan withdrew his playful gaze.

"Is he Jace Tallis?" Katerina asked curiously

"If it's a fake replacement, I don't have any knowledge in terms of wisdom, but the physique is not inferior to the elite soldiers of the empire. This is already commendable in Piltover." Ryan commented.

"He looks like a hairy boy. It's hard to believe that he can achieve high achievements in science. I'm a little more confident in what you say now." Katerina said seriously.

"Which sentence did I say?" Ryan seemed a little surprised.

"If Jace is this virtuous, then I think I can master magic too." Katerina said firmly.

Jace's first impression of her was really bad. She doesn't understand science, but when she thinks about it, she should be able to do better than Jace.

"Hahaha, Miss Katerina, please maintain this confidence at all times. This is what I admire most about you."

Ryan would see Victor sitting alone, and motioned to Katerina in his direction:

"Now, it's time for us to meet Jace's assistant."
