Battle of the Twin Cities: The Ninth Councilor

Chapter 55
"Sir, what happened in the manor just now?"

After leaving Philos' house, Catherine asked after going out the gate.

"You were there just now, and the Ferros family didn't tell you?" Marcus searched around, secretly thinking that he was careless before, and should let the driver wait here for them to come out and return.

As a result, the two of them had to walk back now. The distance from the northern suburbs to the center of Picheng was not close. When they reached the Law Enforcement Bureau, it was almost dawn.

Yes, it's not dark yet.

"I asked, but no one told me, only one guard asked me to stay in the side hall and not to walk around, so as not to cause danger." Catherine wondered: "Who dares to have such courage to make troubles in the Philos family?" ?”

Marcus: "..."

What are you talking about, girl?

Did you forget what the two of us were doing at their door?
No self-awareness at all!

Marcus was ashamed, but he didn't want to do that either, but he made such a move only if there was an incident to lure out the people in Ferros Manor.

Thinking about it now, Marcos felt ashamed. Fortunately, Marvin had committed suicide and killed himself, and the person who was most likely to publicize this kind of thing was gone.

Here comes a dead man.

"Actually, it's not a big deal. It's just that a group of people are eyeing the Ferros family's property, and we just caught up." Marcus didn't say much.

The Black Rose Sect is not something he can afford now, and this matter can only be dealt with by the Philos family themselves.

"This group of people..." Catherine pondered for a while and said, "Is it from Noxus?"

"Huh?" Marcus was taken aback when he heard her say this: "How did you guess that?"

"Do you still need to guess?" Catherine analyzed her thoughts: "Only Noxus is involved in wars around Piltover, and the war consumes the most money. As the richest hidden family in Piltover, the Philos family, Isn't it natural to be targeted by them?"

"That's a good idea." Marcus nodded approvingly, and asked, "Then why don't you think it's the thugs sent by Ionia? It was Ionia who was launched by Noxus, and they also A lot of financial and material resources are needed for the resistance war."

Listening to Marcus' question, Catherine thought for a while: "It can't be Ionia. Compared with Ionia, the Noxus Empire's code of conduct in war is the most unscrupulous side. Now The war is still in its infancy, and even if Ionia needs to do this kind of thing to make up for the lack of financial resources, it will wait until it has to."

Don't look at the mixed fish and dragons in Ionia. It seems that the vastaya race and various martial arts sects are included.

In fact, their principles of doing things are much purer than those of the human empire.

Catherine was wrong about one thing. Even if Ionia was about to perish, it would be impossible to rob others to rob financial resources to supplement itself.

That is the pride in their bones.

Marcus did not correct Catherine, but said silently: "When I have a chance in the future, I will take you on a tour of the Ionian continent.

There is a saying: It is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books.

What is learned in the book is always superficial, and I know that this matter must be practiced.

The broken books you read in the Piltover library, especially the information about magic, are too one-sided. You might as well go there yourself to have a better understanding of this world. "

Marcos must do such things as traveling the world.

If you want to unlock the skills of all heroes, you can't stay in Picheng and Zaan all year round.

He has long coveted the power of Ionia's heroes who can stand shoulder to shoulder with gods with mortal bodies. After traveling, he thought more than once, why didn't he travel in Ionia?
Demacia is fine too...

Although Demacia's system is relatively backward and feudal, there are a lot of magic stones there!
This special item must be used to recharge points, right?

In other words, if you can get the colossus of Demacia's town, how many points will it be worth...

That is a colossus made entirely of forbidden magic stones!
"Traveling in the mainland?" Catherine murmured, her eyes revealing a trace of yearning. She also has a strong interest in this kind of thing.

At this time, there was the sound of a carriage driving behind the two of them.

Marcus turned around and saw that it was a luxury vehicle pulled by four tall horses.

He took Catherine a few steps aside, so as not to block the way of others.

"Appreciate~"

As a result, the carriage stopped in front of the two of them, and the driver in the driver's seat asked, "Are those Mr. Marcus and Miss Catherine from Gilaman's family?"

"we are."

After getting an affirmative answer, the coachman came down and opened the door: "The distance from here to the Picheng Law Enforcement Bureau is not that close. My lady asked me to see you off, please get in the car."

yo~
Marcos was deeply surprised, Camille was quite a caring little girl.

Decided!
Just see you off for this carriage, and keep your beautiful legs in the future!

If you want to increase your combat effectiveness, what can you do?

At worst, let Victor and the others work hard to design you a pair of steel knife leg armor that can be worn on your legs.

What a pair of attractive legs... Bah, they are attractive legs, why amputation is necessary?
What a waste!

"Thank you Miss for me."

Marcus said, regardless of his gentlemanly demeanor, he got into the car first.

Leaving Catherine rolling her eyes several times in the back, she came in and sat down.

The private carriage of the Philos family not only looks extravagant on the outside, but the interior is also exquisite.

The color scheme is uniform blue or white, and luxurious tassel curtains are hung on the windows, which can be drawn to block the light when the sun is hot.

The seat is some kind of fluffy animal fur, and it sinks directly down when sitting on it.

The backrest is filled with high-quality down, and the whole body feels like being embraced by a plump woman from behind when you lean on it, which is very comfortable.

Marcus leaned on the seat, twisted his body comfortably, let himself sink deeper, narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "I will also build a car according to this standard in the future, but it will not be driven by horses, but by other dynamics."

"Other driving forces?" Catherine was sitting on the opposite side of Marcus. She was still despising his behavior that had never seen the world, but when she heard what he said, she suddenly became curious again: "Do you mean steam driving?"

"With all due respect, steam cars, steam ships, and steam airships have all been manufactured, but they have all been canceled due to difficulties in storing water and unstable pressure."

In Piltover, many people were killed and injured on the road due to a malfunction of the steam car, so the council had to issue an order to stop all means of transportation powered by steam.

Even if someone proposes to develop a sufficiently stable pressure control device, it has not been put back into the market, but has been used in other large and medium-sized industries.

So what Marcos said is no different from daydreaming.

Unexpectedly, Marcus opened his eyes and glanced at her, and said with a disdainful smile: "Steam-powered cars? That kind of backward stuff, dogs don't even need it!"

"What I want to design is a vehicle with Hex technology as the core. It is faster! Stronger! More stable! And you don't have to worry about battery life. It's a perfect vehicle!"
