Battle of the Twin Cities: The Ninth Councilor

Chapter 156 Swan Lake

After coming out of the doll shop, Marcos stopped by Seraphine's video store.

In the end, Xia Sha left the video store and went to the Law Enforcement Bureau under Xia Sha's outrageously enthusiastic persuasion.

The business of Hextech needs to be done, and the official business of the Law Enforcement Bureau has to be dealt with. I haven't been able to spare much time these days, and I have already accumulated a large number of miscellaneous documents.

When all the documents were almost processed, Wei and his party who went to Dicheng to find the Wildfire Gang also came back.

"None of the four of you could find Ike?" Marcus was very surprised. Before Jinx acted alone, he was worried that the other party's 'negligence' did not search seriously, so he sent the other three to go together.

Unexpectedly, the four joined forces and failed to find each other.

"It seems that the kid has indeed evacuated from the Shuangcheng area..." Marcus rubbed his temples in distress. The planet where Runeterra is located is so big that it is not easy to find Ike now.

"Perhaps." Wei nodded silently, looking preoccupied.

Marcus noticed this, and his heart moved: "Aside from looking for the Wildfire Gang, what else are you doing today?"

"No!" Milo was startled from behind and shouted in a panic, "We didn't do anything superfluous! And we didn't go to find Vander's corpse in private..."

Craig wanted to cover his mouth, but unfortunately he stretched his hand halfway, so he was still a step behind.

Wei said helplessly: "That's right, we have tried to find Van der's body."

"Didn't I say that Van der's body is safe in that place?" Marcus raised his eyebrows twice, not surprised.

Their actions were all within Marcos' expectations.

It's just that he was more curious, did these four children not go looking for the pirates from Piraeus Port to verify the authenticity of the story he told them?

He is ready to continue the story of fooling the four of them, is this not giving him a chance to act?

Picking up the last document casually, Marcus was about to sign it for fooling around, when he glanced at the contents and found that it was actually related to Bilgewater Harbor.

【The Eternal Night in Piraeus Port direction has reappeared, and the number of lawbreakers coming from that direction will be greatly reduced in the near future. Apply to take this opportunity to block the common seaport where Piraeus people land in the bottom city, to prevent pirates from Piraeus Port from coming again after the end of Eternal Night. 】

Port Piraeus, eternal night?
When Marcus saw these key words, he instantly understood that it wasn't that Wei and the others didn't look for it, but that they didn't find it.

The so-called "eternal night" is probably related to the "tide of ruin" caused by the ruined king 'Voyego'.

Because Bilgewater Harbor is just in the middle of the former Blessed Island and the mainland of Shurima, whenever there is a tide of dilapidation, Piraeus Harbor will bear the brunt of it.

During this period, all pirates who still want to make a living in Piraeus will drive back from all over the world to fight against the monsters that appear in the tide of ruin.

"Sorry." Wei was silent for a short moment, and apologized to Marcus for the first time: "It's not that we don't trust you, it's just... five years, we..."

"I understand, and I understand." Marcus nodded, not letting her continue.

It's been five years, why doesn't he miss the world he came to?
I don't know if Big Brother Bang thinks about himself after time travel.

"Tomorrow you and Craig will go out with me to do some private things." After thinking about it, Marcus reassigned the tasks to them: "As for Melo and Jinx, you two have a holiday tomorrow, so take a good look around the city. A city that detained you for five years."

As he said that, he took out a low-value Golden Wheel card: "There are three thousand Golden Wheels in it, which is enough for you to buy some things you need. Especially Melo, when Jinx is shopping for clothes, keep an eye on me, don't let She buys some messy outfits! The hem of the skirt and the hem of the trousers must be below the knee!
The sleeves of the jacket are not allowed to be shorter than the elbow, and it is not allowed to buy clothes that show the navel, and it is not allowed to buy..."

Jinx was very excited when she heard that she could go shopping and Marcos gave them back pocket money.

After Marcus put forward a series of conditions against her, his little face collapsed in an instant, and he muttered: "Antique, not fashionable at all!"

"What are you muttering about?!" Marcus gave her a sideways glance: "I'm doing this for your own good!"

"Hmph!" Jinx turned her head angrily, not wanting to talk to him.

Marcus was furious: "What's your attitude? When will you be more mature? Learn from your sister and dress appropriately!"

Jinx despises: "Her? A bumpkin!"

Wei had been watching the show with her arms on her chest, until the words "bumpkin" appeared, and she broke her defense in an instant.

After all, she has never been picky about clothing since she was a child. As long as it doesn't hinder her from punching, running, or climbing, she can wear anything.

So most of the time, she wears some unisex clothes, and sometimes she even wears men's clothing directly.

Then Wei united with Marcus in an unprecedented way, and trained Jinx both left and right, until Craig came forward and dragged Jinx who was about to go berserk out of the sheriff's office, and it finally came to an end.

Craig whispered an idea next to Jinx's ear: "Anyway, Mellow can't see you, what do you want to buy tomorrow, can he stop you?"

Jinx thought about it again, it was indeed the truth, and then looked at Milo and the pocket of his clothes that held the Golden Wheel Card with malicious eyes.

Milo felt terrified at the sight of her, and couldn't help shivering, thinking that he should put his clothes far away when he went to bed at night, so as not to hurt the fish in the pond.

It doesn't matter if the card is gone, this is a force majeure factor.

If you suffer for it again, the gain will outweigh the loss.

……

Zodiac Theater.

The traditional play "Swan Lake" was being performed on the stage, and the beautiful dancers stretched their bodies to their heart's content, depicting scenes with body language.

Orianna, who should have been very excited to devote herself to the stage play, was sitting in the third row of audience seats, but she couldn't concentrate.

There is always a ray of light in my mind, and it will never go away.

Colin noticed his daughter's abnormality, and heaved a long sigh in his heart.

"Tomorrow...go to the Hex Technology Institute and help me collect some information about them, mainly to observe the working atmosphere there." Colin lowered his voice, trying not to disturb others.

"Really?" Orianna's eyes lit up, her sapphire-like pupils shining brightly.

"Hmm." Colin said with a complicated expression, "If the atmosphere is right, the position of consultant...you can go."

"Great!" Orianna almost yelled in surprise, and then realized: "But in the store..."

"I'm here in the store." Colin looked at the repertoire on the stage, which was as pleasing to the eye as usual, but watching it today, he always felt that something was missing.

It's like an ancient artwork unearthed from ancient ruins. It's beautiful, but it's a pity that it doesn't fit in with the current era.

Sitting in the row in front of them was a graceful and elegant black-skinned lady. Hearing the conversation behind her, she whispered something in the ear of the female assistant beside her. Then the assistant got up and left the seat. The theater side door left.

At the same time, the woman with the Ferros family crest embroidered on the cuffs of the first row also whispered a few words to the escort.

The escort looked back and said something in a low voice.

After getting the answer, a trace of surprise flashed in the woman's eyes.
