Battle of the Twin Cities: The Ninth Councilor

Chapter 23 Runestones

Back at the Law Enforcement Bureau, Marcos found several law enforcement officials and asked them to go to Fulgan's Tavern with him.

Then in the name of Grayson, more than a dozen teams were arranged to patrol tonight, and all of them were required to be fully armed.

When everything was arranged, Marcos set off with the three of them, and he had to go to Vander to have a good chat.

There was no carriage to pick them up this time, and a group of people walked on the street in the rain.

Passing a luxurious manor on the way, a well-dressed young man stood in front of the iron gate.

"I'm sorry, I just came here to explain..."

Jess looked at Councilor Gilamann who came out to recall Catherine, and wanted to try harder, trying to win the councilor's follow-up investment in his research.

"I think you've said enough."

Gilaman's tone was indifferent, and his eyes seemed to be looking at a stranger.

Since Jess can't bring benefits to the Gilaman family, he is a useless person, and the councilor who puts interests first thinks that it is necessary to draw a clear line for useless people.

What's more, Jess's research has reached the bottom line of Piltover, and it may be difficult for him to continue funding him. Councilor Gilaman certainly doesn't want to take this risk.

Jess also understands this, he has found many people today, but no one is willing to help him continue his dream.

Even his mother.

Thinking that he might never have the chance to realize his dream again, Jess was completely disheartened, standing in the rain like a lost dog abandoned by the whole world.

If one's future life is destined to be ordinary, what is the difference between that and death?
Jace walked away devastated, looking for everyone he could, without a trace of hope in sight.

"Isn't that Jess who was on trial in Parliament today?"

A law enforcement officer behind Marcus gossiped: "I heard that he has a close relationship with the daughter of Councilor Gilamann. I thought he had a chance to become their son-in-law."

"Him? A poor boy?" Another person answered, "Don't be ridiculous! I heard that this kid uttered nonsense in the parliament today, saying that he wanted to use technology to control magic. I laughed so hard."

"Who said no?"

The third law enforcement officer also said: "I remember reading in a book in the Great Library of Piltover that since the magicians of Icathia used forbidden magic against the invasion of the Shurima Empire, they released another For a long time after the monsters of One World ravaged the land, mages were the most strongly resisted existence in Shurima."

"I've also read this book. Some people who experienced magic disasters fled to the west of Valoran and established the Demacia Empire. They have resisted magic to this day."

The second law enforcement officer paused: "Isn't one of the goals of Piltover at the beginning of its establishment, to create a paradise free from magic? Members will definitely not tolerate magic appearing in Piltover. "

"Hey! This kid is still committing crimes against the wind."

The first law enforcement officer who recognized Jess shook his head: "If there is no special encounter, his life will be over."

Listening to their discussion, Marcus became interested in the book the three of them were talking about, and was going to go to the big library to find it out and take a good look at it.

He only knows a little about the history of Runeterra. After all, the designers who created this universe ate books more often than they ate, and the chaotic world view made it hard to watch.

And because it is too fragmented, there are often contradictory statements. It is simply that the outrageous grandmother opened the door for the outrageous——the outrageous went to his grandma's house.

"Okay, don't talk about irrelevant topics during the performance of official duties."

Looking at the direction in which Jess left, Marcos said: "You go to the bridge and wait for me first, be alert at all times, and pay attention to suspicious persons."

After explaining, he turned around and followed in the direction of Jess.

Jace didn't walk fast in the rain. He was so preoccupied that he didn't even notice Marcus passing by him, and he didn't even know when the rain stopped.

All the way to the bombed studio, holding the dim stone on his wristband, Jess remembered the time when he was studying Hex technology here.

When he thought that he would never have the opportunity to touch the mysterious world behind the 'arcana', understand and master the power that had saved his life, and miss the world he longed for, deep despair arose in his heart.

"Did you see it? This is called high and low."

Marcus hid in the corner with Victor, observing Jess's every move, and whispered.

Victor is such a solid-eyed guy. He told him about this shelter from the rain, but he just stayed in the ruins of the studio so grandiosely.

If he hadn't come one step ahead and dragged him away, he would have missed this good show.

"Mr. Marcus, don't we go out and talk to him?" Victor struggled to hold two notebooks, one thicker and the other much thinner.

The thick one is the Hex core blueprint that Marcus gave him, and the thin one is the seized research notebook of Jess that he took from Heimerdinger's office.

"Wait, wait, there's still more exciting scenes yet to come!" Marcus looked at Jess there with great interest, his eyes burning.

More exciting scenes?

Victor glanced at Marcos with a strange expression, the man in front of him gave him a strange feeling.

He was obviously a stable character, but now he showed a wicked side.

Do you find it exciting to watch other people's sad scenes?
Victor looked up at Jess, and saw that he untied the wristband on his hand and gently placed it on a stone, with the family emblem of the Tallis family next to it, as if he was saying goodbye to something.

After putting down the wristband, Jess walked step by step to the gap caused by the explosion, looking at the scenery of Piltover in the distance, his face gradually showed relief.

Now that the dream is shattered, what's the point of living?

It's better to die!

Jess looked downstairs. If he jumped from this height, he would definitely fall to his death on the spot.

Having made up his mind to die, he closed his eyes, as long as he jumped, he could bid farewell to this world forever.

"It's your turn to play!"

Marcus pushed Victor out, and he went to pick up the wristband that Jace left beside him.

[Found the special item "Rune Stone".

The energy is completely drained and worthless.

Unable to top up. 】

Starting with the wristband, a reminder appeared in his mind, and Marcos was secretly happy.

really!

This kind of rare thing can be used to recharge points, but it is a pity that the energy in the rune stone owned by Jess has been completely exhausted and lost its own value.

A rune stone without magical energy is roughly equivalent to a worthless ordinary stone, the kind that no one would want if thrown on the ground.

"Who?"

Jess was startled when he heard the movement, his body wobbled and almost fell through the gap.

"Well……"

Victor was pushed out unexpectedly, without any preparation, he pretended to flip through his notebook twice, and asked inadvertently, "Are we bothering you?"

"What's the matter with you?"

Jess saw that it was Victor and a person in the uniform of a law enforcement officer, and he was furious: "Which list is my name on again?!"
