MTL - The Mage Behind the Scenes From the Twin Cities-Chapter 11 Your ideal should not be a mere teaching assistant, Victor.
At noon the next day, Ryan, who was still dining, had received news from Picheng.
Starting today, the number of Piltover MPs has changed from 7 to 8, and Jess Tallis has officially become the first 8th MP in Piltover's history.
When Jess took office, he made a promise that he would definitely protect the safety of Hextech, protect Mrs. Piltover's property, and protect the people of Piltover from being in danger.
"After an uneasy yesterday, he became the biggest winner." Katerina raised her brows slightly. "It is said that Mel and the Myrdalda family are behind it."
She cares more about Mel's business than Jace becoming a member of parliament. She is also an exiled daughter, and the other party seems to have more brains than her. Although she can break each other's head in a very short time, following Ryan these days, she also began to realize...
Most of the time, the brain is more important than the force.
"It's not too surprising. In this way, the Myrdalda family has two fixed seats in the parliament. In addition to the other two members who have deep relationships with them, the Myrdalda family occupies nearly half of Piltover's voice."
Ryan's expression was flat, and taking four of the eight seats would never be Mel's ultimate goal. What the woman aspires to is at least five seats in Parliament. Or, let 8 become 7 again.
Katerina put down the knife and fork in her hand, thought for a moment, and said, "That woman is very talented, but I always feel that she will play herself in."
"Out of an assassin's intuition?" Ryan asked with a smile.
"I don't like that woman." Katerina said bluntly.
"Jace Tallis is the pride of Picheng people, and it's not bad to fall in." Ryan teased.
Katerina snorted coldly: "Once a woman falls into the blindness of love, she will definitely do some very stupid things."
"This has to be proved by time. As long as he doesn't betray Noxus and his family, he will still be our friend." Ryan said.
Mel has always been attached to the family's growth. He doesn't think that one day she will give up her family position for Jace. The family has given her everything, which is something that Jace and Piltover are far from being able to give.
"Your Mightiness..."
The soldiers from the embassy respectfully walked to Ryan's side and whispered:
"Someone wants to visit you, a gentleman with inconvenient legs."
"Bring him here, he is my friend of Noxus, with wisdom and talent worthy of respect." Ryan said lightly.
When the soldier heard this, his face immediately became solemn, he nodded seriously, and hurried to the door.
Noxus admires any talented person, no matter what kind of talent, should be respected.
Soon, Victor was helped into the restaurant by the soldiers.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Victor, do you need the attendant to prepare a lunch for you?"
"No... I've already eaten it. I'm sorry to bother you, Your Excellency Ryan."
Victor was not used to being helped to sit on the seat. Just as he was trying to find a fulcrum, the crutches were already placed in the most suitable position by the soldiers.
Watching the soldiers leave their luggage respectfully, Victor felt a little uncomfortable:
"Are all Noxian soldiers like this?"
"Not all of them. The soldiers stationed in Piltover had to learn reception etiquette, while the soldiers in Freljord and Shurima required a strong physique and a belly to drink strong alcohol." Ryan explained.
He could see that this was the first time Viktor had received such reception, but it was a required course in Noxus.
To survive in Noxus, you have to learn something, have a skill so that you will not be looked down upon.
Serving others is not a derogatory term in Noxus, and for most of the lower classes, it is definitely a very valuable craft.
Victor digested Ryan's words and suddenly asked, "What about Zaun?"
Hearing this question, Ryan was slightly stunned, but he quickly reacted and pointed out:
"It depends on Zaun's style and leadership. There is no need to set up two embassies in the upper and lower cities. Victor, I think your ideal should not be a mere assistant."
"Your Excellency Ryan..."
Victor clenched his fists and loosened them. After a while, his expression showed a firmness without hesitation, and he looked at Ryan with hopeful eyes:
"I've always had a distant dream. What I want is for Zaun and Lady Piltwar to have the same rights, not as in Parliament today, where MPs are one by one and don't treat the residents of Zaun like they are. people."
Jace's compromise and the arrogance of the Pilgrims made him understand that by handing Hex to this group of people, Zaun would not be able to usher in a day of prosperity.
Instead, the gap between Zaun and Piltover will get bigger and bigger, until Uptowners can arbitrarily decide the life and death of Downtowners...
And all of this was pointed out by the person in front of him.
Actually, before he came, Victor knew very well that the other party didn't want anything. Maybe it was Zaun, maybe it was him, he had some idea.
But this actually reassured him, he had had enough of Piltover's demeanor of saying nice things on the surface, but actually being unmoved.
"Even if it makes you turn your back on your partner, even if it makes your teacher disappointed, even if it makes you give up the future of Hextech?"
Ryan slowly wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, every word seemed to pierce Victor's heart.
"I..."
Victor opened his mouth slightly, just about to say something. But in a trance, countless memories emerged in his mind.
With Jess's imagination of Hex's future, following Mr. Heimerdinger's learning journey, he was deeply fascinated by his thoughts when studying Hex.
Everything, all the time, washed his mind all the time, making it difficult for him to make a choice, and even his firm face began to shake.
He covered his face with his hands and lowered his head, not wanting the other party to see his eyes full of pain and entanglement. UU reading www.uukanshu.com
In fact, he had thought that Ryan would bring up these things, but when he was faced with a choice, he realized that it was far from being as simple as he thought.
Piltover seems to have too many unforgettable memories.
"Victor, look up."
Victor raised his head slightly, he saw the encouragement in Ryan's eyes, like an invitation from the devil to him...
"Sometimes, human beings are very passionate, thinking they can do it for sure. The choice is very simple, and a certain decision can be made with a slap of the forehead. But success is difficult, it may take a lot of time and energy, and the final result is nothing. ."
"You mean..." Victor was a little surprised.
"Don't let your ideals cloud your eyes, Victor, you need to have a clear plan for your future. I made an appointment with a Zaun this afternoon, have you thought about going with me to see it?"
"Zuan... Thank you so much, Your Excellency Ryan." Victor's face was bitter.
He was actually very confused in his heart. In the situation just now, he did not have the confidence not to be persuaded by Ryan.
It was obvious that the other party could defeat him with only the power of words, and it was easy for him to betray Piltover, but Ryan didn't do that, and he wanted to know why.
"How about decorating yourself later, let yourself pretend to be a Noxian, and try to change your identity to experience your hometown?" Ryan suddenly smiled and put forward an idea.
Victor wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it carefully, maybe this was a good experience, so he nodded:
"I think your Excellency just lacks a follower."
"The soldier just now will help you, see you later, Victor."
"See you later, Your Excellency Ryan."
