Lin Luo didn't know what to say, so he sighed softly:
"Jace, I'm sorry..."
There is a reason why Lin Luo said sorry.
He knew that taking Zaun people to sneak into Piltover was against the laws of Piltover. In addition, he was also considered a friend of Jace. Maybe he wasn't a particularly good friend, but at least he had such a relationship.
And it is precisely because of this level of friendship that things have become irreversible.
Lin Luo brought the Zaun people into Piltover even though he knew he was friends with Jace. This was not only illegal, but also a slap in the face.
Although I had my reasons for doing this, it was indeed a bit unkind to Jace.
Aman was shocked and looked at the man in disbelief!
Is he Jace, the guardian of Piltover, the city of progress?
Jace was obviously suppressing his anger at this time. He was still calm, otherwise he wouldn't have spoken.
"Lin, Jiawen and I were very good friends a long time ago. I thought we would also become very good friends, but why did things become like this? Is there something I didn't do well enough?"
Jace showed a puzzled expression, which made Lin Luo's heart sink.
Jess said:
"Introduce your friends to me. I want to know who would make you choose to do such a thing as smuggling."
Lin Luo was silent for a while, then he said:
"This is my friend in Zaun, her name is Aman. - Aman, this is Councilor Talis, he is the guardian of Piltover."
Aman glanced at Jess and said nothing.
She had long thought that Lin Luo had an unusual identity, but she never thought that he was friends with Jess.
Zaun and Piltover can be called heaven and hell, which makes her feel unreal.
"Turns out he's a Zaun."
Jess showed a surprised expression and said solemnly:
"This is so surprising to me, Lin, that you would be friends with a Zaun."
Lin Luo took a deep breath and said:
"Jace, Zu An is not all bad people. You should know this best!"
Jess heard something in Lin Luo's words, narrowed his eyes and said:
"What's the meaning?"
Lin Luo said bluntly:
"Because you have friends in Zaun, right? There are good people in Zaan and bad people in Pi City. You should be the most sympathetic person, right? You should understand this truth best, right?"
Jess looked into Lin Luo's eyes, and terrible electric energy surged:
"Who told you these things! Did you meet Victor in Zaun?"
Lin Luo said:
"This is not the key. What I want to say is that Aman is not a bad person! You are not even! I didn't come to Zaun to offend you at all. I really came to save people, to save a Zaun who was on the verge of death.
Is this also wrong?"
Lin Luo knew very well that using force would never work when dealing with a being like Jace.
And to be honest, there is no need to fight at all!
Lin Luo didn't want to offend Jess at all, he just came to Pi City to seek medical treatment out of necessity.
Since it is a misunderstanding, let’s resolve the misunderstanding. Why take action?
After Lin Luo said this, Jace's roaring electric energy began to slowly weaken.
His expression began to calm down.
Obviously, he listened to Lin Luo's words. He is not an unreasonable person.
Jess suddenly asked:
"Okay, I believe you for the time being. But I want to ask you, when we first met, I sincerely invited you to help me twice, but you refused, but why would you rather risk anger under the same choice?
The whole Piltover was in danger to help this Zaun man, but he refused to help me in the first place? Did I do something wrong? Or do you think I am a bad person?"
Lin Luo felt that Jace was not questioning, but was confused.
From his point of view, this problem is obviously too puzzling. On one side are the noble guardians of Piltover, and on the other side are the gangsters who grew up in the ditch.
No matter how you think about it, normal people would choose the former, but Lin Luo chose the latter.
Unless Lin Luo thought from the beginning that Jace was not a good person, he would have made this choice.
This is why Jess is angry.
He believed that he had been insulted and misunderstood.
So he stared at Lin Luo and asked a question.
"Lin, if you answer my question about whether I am a bad person in your mind, I can consider sparing her life."
…
Lin Luo closed his eyes and began to think about everything that happened.
He began to say slowly:
"To tell you the truth, I didn't plan to stay here for too long at first. When you asked me for help, I could only politely refuse you for this reason. But I declare that I have no ill intentions, and I don't treat you as an enemy.
.”
Jace nodded and motioned for him to continue.
Lin Luo continued:
"But then I went to Zaun, and I gradually learned about what happened in the Twin Cities over the years. I understood a lot of history that I didn't know before. I met friends of the Zaun gang. Part of the reason for their troubles was
I, so I think I have to save them, is there anything wrong with that?"
Lin Luo then briefly stated what happened before.
Jace's expression became more and more silent.
Every time he heard a word, his eyes would change.
Lin Luo said in a deep voice:
"Perhaps the reason why you appear here is that you mistakenly thought that I chose Zu'an... But you can rest assured that I am who I am. I am here to save the lives of my friends. I will never take any camp or position."
Lin Luo emphasized:
"Just like when you wanted me to side with Pi City...I won't rashly side with you until I know the truth. Is this explanation enough?"
Lin Luo's words made Jess stand there for a long time.
Neither of them thought things would develop to this point.
When Lin Luo first came to Piltover, Jess personally greeted him, extremely enthusiastic and talkative.
But at this time, Jace seemed silent and cold, as if he was a different person. Perhaps this is his true appearance.
Things should not have turned out like this, but Lin Luo went to Zaan and ended up in this situation.
It's just that Lin Luo really doesn't want to offend Jace. Regardless of his strength or position, Jace is just a poor scientist who was squeezed by Piltover.
However, at this time, Jess suddenly asked a question.
This shocked Lin Luo and was a huge surprise!
"Lin, why do you think... I wanted you to side with Pi City?"
Lin Luo's pupils shrank:
"Is not it?"
Jess's expression suddenly became helpless.
He said word for word:
"My original words were, please help me resolve the contradictions in the Twin Cities... Maybe you didn't understand at the time, what exactly did the contradictions in my words mean?"
This sentence was like a sudden alarm bell that made Lin Luo raise his head suddenly!
He and Jace looked at each other, and this time the other person's original words had a different meaning to him!
"Did you mean that at the beginning..."
Lin Luo's expression became shocked. He carefully thought about everything he knew clearly. It seemed that he suddenly understood what Jace meant!
Jess took a deep breath and said:
"You didn't give me a chance to explain at all. You rejected me twice in a row! I never thought about asking you to take sides from the beginning to the end. I will never force my friends... The contradiction in my mouth is not Zu An's at all.
Regarding the conflict with Pi City, I didn’t ask you to help me attack Zaun!”
He emphasized:
"Moreover, I will never treat friends as tools, never before! And never again in the future!"
Lin Luo frowned. He thought carefully about what had happened. He suddenly realized that it seemed that he had misunderstood everything?
exactly.
It was me who had just arrived in Piltover who misunderstood it.
At that time, Jace was the guardian of Piltover, and Lin Luo was new here.
He naturally felt that Jace would use his power to suppress or eliminate Zaun's power.
But this is not the case...
Jace wants to ask himself to resolve the conflict in the Twin Cities, but what is the real conflict in the Battle of the Twin Cities?
Is it poor Zuan?
Or the progressive Piltover?
neither.
But decades ago, before the two cities were completely hostile, three young scientists were determined to develop a technology that would change the fate of the two cities.
They have dreams in their hearts. They want to change the world. They want to let the poor Zaun people eat and breathe fresh air, and they also want to make the progressive Piltover even more advanced and even famous all over the world!
But the fact is that after the advent of Hex Technology, those high-rise Piltover capitalists suddenly took it for themselves. They developed Piltover arrogantly, but exploited the poor Zaun people!
This is the real contradiction between the two cities!!
When Jace met for the first time, this was what he wanted to say.
And this is also the core plot of Twin City!
…
Lin Luo took a breath of air:
"So what you wanted to say at the beginning..."
Jace walked towards Lin Luo, and he finally said what he really thought.
"I have always believed that if you have the ability to solve the war in Demacia, then you must be able to solve the conflict between the two cities. That's why I asked you for help, Lin! What I want you to help solve is not the ancestors.
An… but the condescending congressmen and capitalists on Hexfei’s door!!”
Jess suddenly grabbed Lin Luo's shoulders and gritted his teeth:
"If it weren't for these damn bastards! How could Victor and I have turned against each other? How could the conflict between Zaun and Piltover have developed to the point of fighting each other? I'm really desperate. I have no way to resist those hateful Piltover capitalists.
I can only become their puppet! That’s why I need your help!!”
At this moment, Lin Luo thought of Dr. Wang's words, and he completely understood.
Jace wasn't lying, he was telling the truth!
It’s just that when I first came to Piltover, I didn’t realize the seriousness of the matter!
What Jace said next further proved that he was not lying.
"A long time ago, I asked Jarvan for help, hoping that he would use the power of Demacia to help me."
"The answer Jarvan gave me was... He would introduce me to a hero, a heroic adventurer who could solve the Demacia War! That's why I was so excited... so excited! I thought my savior was here.
!The savior of Piltover and Zaun is coming!!"
Jess looked at Lin Luo with a complicated expression:
"I thought a young hero would come to Piltover and help me break this damn situation!!"
"You are an immature white-eyed wolf. As the guardian of Pi City, you personally let go of the Zaun people who committed the crime of smuggling. This is undoubtedly a dereliction of duty. I think your position as the guardian of Pi City is...
I can’t sit still."
This voice sounded directly above Lin Luo's head.
A thin figure fell from the sky and stood right in front of Lin Luo and A Man.
This man wore a silver mask, was only about 1.5 meters tall, and his arms looked like silver Hex prosthetics.
What frightened Lin Luo was that this turned out to be a level 50 epic boss. If faced head-on, Lin Luo and Tata would not be able to defeat this boss. It would be impossible to break through!
"Pell, let them pass."
Jess's voice suddenly sounded.
"This is my order!"
The former said in a sarcastic tone:
"Order? Haha... You can no longer protect yourself Jace. The councilors and elders will soon judge you. After so many years, you still miss that lowly Zaun pariah. You regard him as a friend, but he
How long will you continue to persist in treating you as your enemy?"
His strength is obviously far inferior to Jace, but his tone is so arrogant.
But what's even more outrageous is that Jace didn't refute, or rather he held back and didn't refute!
Lin Luo instantly understood that he was the person placed by the Pi City councilors and elders around Jace to monitor him all the time.
Pell glanced at Aman with a sneer:
"This kind of Zaun people are born to be despicable bastards. You are a noble Piltover, why do you care about the life and death of Zaun people?"
Aman was so angry that she yelled:
"You are the bitch! There is no hierarchy in people at all. Even if there is, it's you bastards who forcefully exploit us! The people of Zaun are not inferior to you. If you have the ability to come to Zaun, there are many people who can cure you!!"
Just like Lin Luo said.
Anyone can criticize Zaun, but Pi City, which developed by exploiting Zaun, cannot.
"Hmph, there is indeed someone in Zu'an who can cure me, but what does it have to do with you? With your strength, do you deserve to say such a thing?"
Pell sneered and suddenly raised his silver-white prosthetic leg!
Huge white flames exploded with a bang, like a small erupting volcano!
"Aman, hide now!!"
Lin Luo yelled quickly, and Aman instantly activated the alchemical prosthetic body, and his speed increased several times!
But in the final analysis, Aman has just become a third-generation alchemy hunter. Her level has just reached level 40, and her grade is only gold level.
With a difference of ten levels and one major level, there was no resistance at all. Aman was instantly hit by white flames and flew backwards with a roar, knocking over several houses!
However, Aman's own health volume is extremely high.
And she was so tough that she couldn't die so easily.
The blood bar was only about one-twentieth off, and she spat out a mouthful of blood, but there was no fear at all in her blue eyes, only anger. She wiped the corners of her mouth vigorously, turned over and stood up.
"That's enough, Pell, give me some face and let them pass."
Jess looked ugly and stood in front of Pell.
"You have no face to speak of, Jace. Please understand your status."
Pell pushed Jace away coldly.
The latter clenched his fists and looked extremely gloomy, but in the end he did not take action.
"Do you know what kind of impact it will have on Pi City if you let her go today?"
Pell walked towards Aman expressionlessly.
"From now on, everyone will think that Piltover is a place where you can come and leave whenever you want. Even the most despicable Zaun can set foot in it. This is a provocation to our progressive city and a naked attack.
